Notes

  • Consistency — If your juicy crab sauce ends up being too thick, all you need to do is dilute it by adding more chicken broth. Is it too thin? You can easily thicken the sauce using cornstarch.
 
  • Adjust the spices — If you’ve taken a look at the ingredients list, you might have realized that this juicy crab sauce recipe utilizes a good amount of spices, not to mention all the savory and umami ingredients that could very well make this sauce untouchable for some, especially for children. Remember to adjust the number of ingredients for your target audience, or omit some completely.
 
  • Sauce — Remember that this sauce is not exclusive to crab, but it’s best when used on seafood.
