For this Chinese New Year just gone we bought just the 1 packet of crabstick from Costco. It finished in just a few days after giving a jar to friend’s son. There is not enough to eat. I told hubby he should have grabbed 2 bags. Last week while in Costco he grabbed 3 bags!

Oh Lordy, it took me hours to peel, dry and fry yesterday. I started peeling while watching Homes Under the Hammer, around 11:00am and didn’t finish till gone 21:00pm but I fried shallots oil as well. Might as well do it all in a day then kitchen gets a thorough clean and my hair gets washed. kekekeke

Well then, I have this idea, I tried it and it worked! Buying salted egg yolks fish skin is so expensive. Crabsticks in itself taste a bit of fish anyway so if I add salted egg yolks powder to it……….. My husband was hanging to the entire tub saying that it is his Valentine present (today is Valentine Day) – snacks when he’s working in the study! I wanted to add another ingredient in but I ran out of the ingredient! It’s another idea but watch this space! Next round I will update!

Please refer to pics below. I do have a very important TIP. You must use a deep pan to fry and not too much oil. Remember all things with yolks bubble up so be WARNED. Just use enough oil to fry 2 rounds, then add oil again. When I make another round I will add pics of the frying. I forgot to take any yesterday.

TIP – Season as per usual. As this brand of crabsticks is quite flavourful I normally only sprinkle with cornflour or rice flour and a pinch of baking powder. Now I just added in the salted egg yolks powder.

Bought 3 packets from Costco

Peeled and layered on kitchen rolls to dry the crabsticks. Yes I am ever so slightly OCD

Finished – I did slowly while watching television

Then you flip over so you can use the first layer first

Peeled off the kitchen roll and use

Can use the kithcen roll to dry it more

TIP – Sprinkle a pinch of baking powder

You can season with cornflour or rice flour as per normal then add in your salted egg powder.

I used this salted egg yolks powder given to me but am not quite satisfied with the taste.
