- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 large scallion whites, thinly sliced
- 1 large scallion green, thinly sliced

- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound crabmeat, preferably Dungeness, Maine claw or lump, picked over
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated dried orange peel
- In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the scallion whites and ginger and cook over moderate heat until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the sake, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar and cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 1 minute. Add the crabmeat and scallion green and toss lightly to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
