香脆和香辣蟹条~Spicy & Non-spicy versions of Crispy Crabstick.

材料:
蟹条 (Li chuan/tasty bite 牌子)
辣椒粉 (housebrand 牌子)
咖喱叶 适量整个过程只用了两张吸油纸。也没吸上多油。
这是辣味的。搅拌辣椒粉和咖喱叶。
Well mix it with chilly powder for spicy version.
用了air fryer整个过程只用了两张吸油纸。也没吸上多油。
Use only 2 kitchen towel and leave not much oil on it. I believe AF does help.

做法:
1. 蟹条退冰后撕开。掩上辣椒粉放些咖喱叶。
2. 火热后一起下油锅炸马上转小火,一会儿转中火。看到大概有点黄就转回小火。炸到金黄色。
3. 我用air fryer 160度 2 到3分钟。逼出油。
4. 冷后再撒上辣椒粉。

*不辣的口味。辣椒粉和咖喱叶可以省了。

Ingredients:
Crabsticks (Li chuan/tasty bites brand from sheng siong)
Chilly powder (housebrand brand)
Some curry leave.

Method:
1. Peel gently and roll it out in a thin layer of crab meat and tear it. Marinate it with some chilly powner and curry leaves.
2. Heat the wok with oil and deep fry it together with leaves. Fry it with low heat. After a minute u may turn to middle heat. After the crabstick turns slightly brown turn to low heat again. Fry until golden brown. Dish up and leave it on the kitchen towel if u do not have a airfryer.
3. After completely cool sprinkle some chilly powder. Keep into a airtight container.


*I use AF to fry at 160c, 2 to 3 mins to extract some oil out.
*for non-spicy can save up the chilly powder and curry leave.

虾圈 ~ Prawn rolls

材料:肉碎350克 (不要太瘦)
虾10只(去掉肠)
小葱 8粒 (剁碎)
马蹄 4粒(剁粗粒)不放也行
豆腐皮1包(剪大小个人喜欢)
调味料:酱青1茶匙,盐1/2茶匙,麻油2茶匙,玉米粉1茶匙,五香粉1茶匙,胡椒粉1/2茶匙
做法:把全部材料和调味料一起搅拌均匀。
掩最少一个小时放冰箱。
豆腐皮我剪18cm x18cm。大概卷3圈。
大火蒸3分钟。不蒸直接炸也行! 炸到金黄色,切斜即可。


小贴士:
*豆腐皮很咸,调味料不必加多!可以用清洁湿布抹皮就不会那么咸!
*蒸后的虾卷可以收冰箱(结冰隔可放2个星期, 炸之前要完全退冰!)

紫菜鱼丝卷 ~ Seaweed with Dried Fish Roll


只需4样材料 。
就这样卷起。不要卷得太紧。紫菜可剪半片。
用蛋收口。
剪斜。用小火炸到金黄。




小贴士:
紫菜甜的很容易焦,一定要用小火。脆也不容易卷,我会打开全部紫菜让它受潮不那么脆。可以选者用寿司紫菜,比较容易卷。味道也不错
- 可以放进烘烤箱或Air fryer烤一下让它出点油。
- 等冷却后收进不透气的罐子。
- 半片的紫菜炸了会比较美。可以参考2014 年饼~紫菜鱼丝卷
