Chinese New Year delights 2013: Crispy Crab Sticks

Yvonne kept telling me that crispy crab stick is the easiest delight for Chinese New Year. She said her kids like it the best. I don't listen until she gave some to my girls. I finally made my own crispy crab sticks when my girls pestering me to ask for more crab sticks from Aunt Yvonne again.

I bought KAMI brand crab sticks. It came in loose strips. If you want thinner strips, you may need to tear the crab sticks thinner.

Heat up oil and deep fry the crab sticks. Seasoning free, egg free and flour free.

We prefer more browish crab sticks. Some people prefer lightly brownish only.

Once you start biting on these crispy crab sticks, you can't stop eating until the container is empty.

I must make more of these crispy crab sticks next year to give away to friends and relatives, because many said nice when I let them try.

Tomorrow, we will be staying up late to pray for the Jade Emperor. I decided to steam some simple and healthy cup cake as part of the praying food.  

I really like this steamed cup cake. I make some in pandan flavour (from fragrance Screwpine leaves) and some in vanilla flavour. You can also make cocoa flavour steamed cup cakes if you like.

Here is the steamed cup cake recipe that I found at NasiLemakLover a.k.a Sonia.
