Fried Crab Fillet Sticks recipe:
**Fried Crab Fillet Sticks**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 crab sticks (imitation crab meat)
– 2 large eggs
– 3 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
– Vegetable oil (for frying)
– Optional seasonings: salt, garlic powder, paprika, or any preferred spices
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Coating:**
– In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten.
– Add the cornstarch and black pepper powder to the eggs, and mix until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
2. **Coat the Crab Sticks:**
– Add the crab sticks to the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. **First Fry:**
– Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
– Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated crab sticks in the pan.
– Fry the crab sticks until they turn a light golden color, then remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. **Second Fry:**
– Increase the heat slightly to get the oil hotter.
– Return the crab sticks to the pan and fry them again until they turn a deeper golden brown. This second fry will make them extra crispy.
– Remove them from the pan and let them drain on paper towels once more.
5. **Season and Serve:**
– Sprinkle with additional seasoning if desired, or serve them plain. These fried crab fillet sticks are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy your crispy, golden Fried Crab Fillet Sticks! 😄
