Black Pepper Dashi Crab at Ministry of Crab. Black Pepper has been the true “king of spice” of Sri Lanka for centuries, as red chilli was not native to Asia. This dish is deeply rooted in the Japanese culinary philosophy of ‘dashi’, where the dashi of black pepper forms its base, fusing two native Sri Lankan ingredients together; black pepper and mud crab. The heat is kicked up a notch with hand-crushed black pepper that’s rolled on our “Miris Gala” (traditional grinding stone).
