Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh crab meat
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 180 milliliters Cold sparkling water
- 1 large Egg
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 1 for serving Fresh lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well blended.
Add the cold sparkling water and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Be cautious not to overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep saucepan to 180°C (350°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Pat the crab meat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Gently fold the crab meat into the batter, ensuring that all pieces are well coated.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully submerge several pieces of the battered crab meat into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid crowding the pot.
Fry the crab pieces for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried crab from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining crab pieces.
Serve the crispy fried crab hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges. Enjoy!
