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.

How to cook Fried crab sticks with cheese

Step 1

Prepare crab sticks with cheese. Combine grated cheese and finely chopped dill, add salt and spices, mix. Put the filling evenly into each unfolded stick, press it down a little with a spoon and roll the stick back up. Roll each stick first in flour, then in egg. Fry the crab sticks in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.

Fried crab sticks with cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

What can I use instead of dill if I don't have any?

Fresh parsley or chives make a great substitute for dill. You could also use a small amount of dried dill (about 1/4 of the fresh amount) or even omit it entirely if you prefer.

Can I make these crab sticks ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them a few hours in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator. For best results, fry them just before serving so they stay crispy.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely! While the recipe uses a firm, melty cheese like cheddar, you can use mozzarella for more stretch, gouda for a nutty flavor, or even a smoked cheese for a different twist. Avoid very soft cheeses as they might not hold the filling well.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, baking is a great option. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the prepared crab sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Baking yields a slightly less crispy but still delicious result.

What should I serve with these fried crab sticks?

They're great on their own as an appetizer or snack. For a more complete meal, serve them with a simple side salad, some steamed rice, or a dipping sauce like a spicy mayo or sweet chili sauce.

Can I make a larger batch and freeze them?

Yes, they freeze well. After assembling, place them on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to an airtight container or bag. To cook, fry directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes per side, until golden and hot throughout.
