INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "Walnut Oil Vinaigrette" recipe which is included in this
collection.
Carefully rinse and clean soft shell crabs. Pat dry and set aside. Arrange
julienned vegetables and greens attractively on plates. Drizzle vinaigrette
around. For the batter, beat egg yolk and water together until just mixed.
Pour flour in all at once and mix with a few strokes until ingredients are
loosely combined. Batter will be a little lumpy. Use immediately. Lightly
dust crab with flour then dip in batter and deep fry in preheated 360
degree oil for 3 to 4 minutes or until crabs are golden brown and crisp.
Cut crabs in half and arrange alongside vegetables with legs upright.
Garnish with a sprinkling of flower petals and salmon caviar if desired.
Serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
