It's pretty simple to make. Get a fresh sea crab, clean it and break it into pieces (separate the large claws from the body and quarter the body, leaving small legs attached). If you want you can pre-crack the shell here and there so that it's easier to eat when finished and to let the seasonings into the shell to coat the crab meat.

Heat a large wok with a little oil in the bottom, then stir-fry the crab in with a couple of tablespoons of yellow curry powder, a couple of eggs beaten with a little milk, and roasted chilli paste (naam phrik phao / นำ็พริกเผา). Some cooks mix the curry powder with the egg mixture first, but IMO this doesn't taste nearly as good as letting these ingredients mix themselves during the stir-fry process, as the curry powder needs to be heated directly in the wok oil to bring out its full fragrance.

During the last few laps in the wok, add fish sauce, sugar and chopped green onions to taste, then serve warm with steamed rice.
