I don’t really fancy on the crab stick because they are so imitation in ingredients but your post today really intrigued me. Another great snack to munch.
it’s basically fish paste (not crab) but other than that, it’s not too artificial in my opinion :)
I’ve always love crab stick but knowing its high sodium content I try to reduce my consumption. But this? I have to try!!
this is worth forgoing my diet for ;)
I like your retro-looking fan :) Nice idea for crab keropok!
it’s actually 鞭炮 (fire crackers) but maybe because the angle I took is quite high, so it resembles a fan instead :P
I loved this snack too but too much trouble to make this.
Hi Wiffy, love your retro looking mosaic wall against the black table top!
Hi . I saw your recipe yesterday and decide to do it. Everything went well till I tried one today . It became soft as in “漏風＂. I wait till it became room temperature before storing it in the CNy bottles and tape it up .Same goes for my sambal mini shrimp rolls :( . So demoralise now .
mine lasted for many days without 漏風 and my friend told me hers last up to one week. there was once I made where it 漏風 the very next day, because I think I didn’t screw the bottle tightly. Also, don’t wait too long before you bottle, once it’s cool, bottle immediately, as our weather is very humid.
Tasty and yummy snack!
