TEMPURA OF SOFT-SHELL CRABS
Steps:
- Lay crabs backside down on a cutting board, and cut in half lengthwise, so that each half has a claw.
- Stir about 1 1/4 cups water into the flour to make a smooth, thick batter. Add baking soda and ice cubes.
- Pour enough oil into a deep pot to fill it halfway, and heat to 375 degrees. (To test, carefully sprinkle a drop or two of water into the pot. If the oil rumbles, it's not hot enough. If it crackles, it is.)
- Dip crab pieces, four at a time, into batter, and immediately drop into hot oil. Stir after several seconds to separate the pieces, then cook until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining crab pieces. Salt to taste, and serve immediately.

[email protected]Overall, this was a good recipe. The soft-shell crabs were cooked well, and the tempura batter was tasty. However, I think I would have preferred to use a different dipping sauce.

[email protected]These soft-shell crabs were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred to pan-fry them instead of deep-frying them.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my tempura batter didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I'll definitely try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.

[email protected]These soft-shell crabs were cooked to perfection! The tempura batter was light and crispy, and the crab meat was tender and juicy. I served them with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger, and they were absolutely delicious.
