Chinese New Year Goodies: Air-Fried Crab Stick Crisps

Posted on February 8, 2015December 28, 2022 by PatriCa BB 雪冰

image“A ‘copy-cat’ recipe that worth following, giving you healthier new year goodies!”

Obviously I did not create this recipe. I am not the first few to make this snack, too. I was just following the ‘trend’, if you already are making it or have done it many time. For Chinese Lunar New Year celebration, for your own consumption or as gift during new year visits. It’s surely healthier (it’s air-fried) for you and your wallet! It’s easy, too!

imageYields 1 tub
Ingredients
1 packet of crab (flavored) sticks, 250g
Pinch of sugar
Drizzle of oil

Method
(1) Rinse and pay dry crab sticks. Hand strip the crab sticks to about 1cm width.

(2) Loosen the strips and place half the amount in the air fryer basket. Sprinkle sugar and oil. Air fry on 160deg Celsius for 6 minutes x 2 times (open up to check and shake its basket upon completion of first round of air-frying before the second round), followed by 130 deg Celsius for 6 another minutes.

(3) Remove from air fryer and let crisped and browned crab sticks cool completely.

Repeat steps for the balance half.

Store goodies in air tight container.

Tips: Crab sticks are not made of real crab, but fish meat with crab flavoured. I used Dodo brand from supermarkets that costs less than S$2 per packet.
* You may add your desired flavors to the creation, eg. sesame, ground seaweed, curry powder, chili powder, garlic powder, honey wash, and etc.
* Please note that the temperature of the air fryer as well as its frying time is adjustable, as long as the food is totally browned and crisped. Just avoid too high temperature, and most importantly, check its doneness every 6-8 minutes interval.
* If you do not own an air-fryer, simply deep fry the crab stick strips.

One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet and relaxing (with live piano performance) dinner on a week night if I am in KL. #colonialcafe at The Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

Serving not just the Western, but Hainanese cuisine. Loved their dinner rolls (but not the butter), too. 

Averagely RM150 per pax for a 2-course (shared appetizer and main course) and coffee/ chilled drink.

Just came across a random IG post this morning saying that “woman over 40, can never looked as young and as energetic as young girls no matter how well she took care of herself”…… In the first place, why should women over their 40s, to take care of themselves and their appearance, is to compare with young girls…. Why only women over 40 need to be taught by him (a guy at his 20s or so) that these women should and should not do certain things in their life…. Why only women over 40s….. Speechless. Period. #happymothersdaytoall
