Method: | • First make the plum sauce. Scrape the plum flesh from the stone. Heat the vinegar, add the sugar and plum flesh, stirring until the sugar dissolves which will take about 2 minutes. Simmer until a thin syrup begins to form, then remove from the heat. Stir in the chillies, pour into a bowl and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the crab, coconut, egg, garlic, fish sauce, chilli jam and pepper. Knead with your fingers, then form into small patties. Roll in the breadcrumbs until well-coated.
• Heat a pan of oil to 200°C. Deep-fry the patties until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the plum sauce.
