Steps:

• Mix crab meat with lemongrass, chilies, cilantro, and egg yolk, mixing well.
• Mix the half and half with cornstarch and heat, stirring, until thickened, and mix into crab meat mixture.

• To make the dip, heat the sesame oil in a saucepan, add the green onion, then the curry paste; stir fry for a minute or so before adding the coconut milk.
• Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until it reduces about 1/2 and gets fairly thick.
• Stir in the soy sauce, then set aside to cool.
• Heat deep-fryer to 350 degrees and cook crab bites in batches, about 3-4 minutes or until nicely browned, then drain on paper toweling.
• Serve warm with the curry dip.
• The crab bites can be made in advance, and reheated in the oven at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
