Airfried Crabsticks Round 2!

We just can't get enough of Airfried Crabsticks, they're so tasty and you can even eat it with rice!

So I did some experimenting, this time made one with Nestum Cereal and Curry Leaves, kind of like Cereal Prawn. The cereal didn't quite stick to the crabsticks, I don't know why eventhough I've put a spoonful of oil. I could smell the cereal and the curry leaves though so it was nice and fragrant. 

The other flavour was a Hot and Spicy Seaweed flavour. I used the Big Bang brand, ripped the sheets in small pieces and used a hand blender to crush them up, then added them to the shredded crabsticks. It's also important to add a spoonful of oil so that the seaweed will stick. You will get some seaweed dropping off in the airfryer but it's ok.  


After the seaweed has been mixed in.

Towards the end of cooking it's better to cover the crabsticks as they'll fly up into the coil as they dry up. Make sure you stir every few minutes.
 
Yummy Yummy! 

From reading the airfrying groups people mentioned apart from Dodo brand crabsticks, Li Chuan one also airfries well. So I gave it a go. Straight away as I was shredding the crabstick I realised I didn't like it. It just wouldn't unroll and shred into wide strips like Dodo does. Instead it was more like matchsticks size. The taste isn't that great either compared to Dodo one. But it does crisp up faster and I noticed that they don't curl either as they crisp up. So I guess it's a matter of personal choice, in future for me, I will stick to Dodo frozen one.


The extra brown one is Dodo Brand, the Lichuan one on the bottom you can see doesn't curl up.
