BATTERED FRIED CRAB STICKS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Beat the egg in a deep bowl. Add the milk, water, salt and sugar. Whisk properly. Pour the flour in slowly and stir until the lumps dissolve. Heat up a deep skillet. Pour vegetable oil for deep frying. Drop every crab stick into the batter, then take out and place on the skillet. Fry on each side until brown. Let the crab sticks cool a bit before serving. As a dish they're good with rice and ketchup.

FRIED CRAB STICKS

Steps:

• For the crab sticks, estimate 1-2 sticks per serving as appetizers, or 6-8 sticks per serving as a main dish.
• Whisk together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Place the flour in a bowl, and the panko in another bowl. Place a sheet of foil or parchment paper on the counter then unwrap the crab sticks and place on the foil. (And you can see I already had 4 sticks coated already when I took the photo.)
• For pan frying: Heat about ½ inch of oil in a pan, you want it hot but not smoking. For deep frying, set the dial to 180° C (350°).
• Roll a crab stick in flour to evenly coat, then coat evenly with egg mixture, then coat with panko, and place the crab stick back on the foil. (The coating is not thick, but the panko and egg give a nice texture and flavor.)
• When you have 4-6 sticks completed, and the oil is hot, add the sticks to the oil and fry until browned, turn to brown other side, this only takes 2 minutes or so and do not overcook or the crab sticks will fall apart. When using a deep fryer, place sticks in the basket so they are not touching, then deep fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Repeat the coating and frying for remaining sticks.
• Enjoy with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce, ketchup, or Japanese mayo (Kewpie).
