 CRISPY CRABLETS



Crispy Crablets are seasoned small crabs that were dredged in cornstarch and deep-fried until crispy.
These types of crabs are usually found in riverbanks while some are cultured in fish ponds.
In some cases, these small crabs can be caught in rice.

 

This dish has become a popular appetizer among Filipinos.
This is often eaten with a spicy vinegar dip; it goes well with beer or any alcoholic beverage.

If you already watched the video, you will notice that the preparation and cooking time for this dish is short;
you can complete everything for less than 10 minutes.

Just like any other dish, the success depends on the quality and freshness of the ingredients.
It is still best to use fresh crablets, but you can modify the recipe in case you got the
fresh frozen ones – like what I did.
