🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

Clean the coconut crab and remove the meat from the shell. If using other crab or seafood, prepare as needed.

In a pot, sauté chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant.

Add the diced vegetables to the pot and sauté for a few minutes.

Pour in the coconut milk and add enough water to cover the vegetables.

Add the crab meat to the pot.

If desired, add chopped chili pepper for a bit of heat.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or parsley.
