Recipe's preparation

    Method
  1. Make the rice flour: Weigh rice into Thermomix bowl. Place a piece of kitchen roll/paper towel between the lid and the measuring cup and Grind 5 minutes/Speed 10.

  2. Prepare the vegetables by cutting them into strips. Place the crab pieces/ vegetable strips in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of wheat flour (or rice flour) and coat them in it. This absorbs any liquid and helps the batter stick.

  3. Add the ground red chillies to the rice flour in the Thermomix bowl. Weigh in the sparkling water and blend 30 seconds/Speed 6. Check the consistency and add more water if required. The batter should be like thick cream.

  4. Heat about one inch/2 cm of oil in a very small pan (you’ll not waste so much oil) or in a deep fat fryer. Oil is hot enough when a drop of batter sizzles and turns golden brown. Pour batter over crab/vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Fry in small batches until just golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.

  5. Serve on heated plates with sauce or sauces of your choice.


    Bon appétit !
