Cookinero 14 Oct 2025

To prepare the appetizer, choose crab sticks that can be unwrapped. For piquancy, you can add soy sauce and various spices to the batter, and for juiciness, you can add mayonnaise or sour cream to the cheese filling. The recipe suggests choosing batter with egg and flour, and cheese and fresh herbs for the filling. It is best to serve fried crab sticks with cheese hot.
