Method
- Cut the crab sticks into about 2 cm lengths. Unroll and shred the crab sticks by hand into moderately thin strips. Deep fry until golden and crisp. Remove from oil, drain and set aside.
- Wash and dry the anchovies.
- Preheat oven to 180C and roast the peanuts for 10 minutes or until done. Next roast the anchovies. Set aside.
- Sauté the garlic and shallots in the oil until fragrant, add the chili paste and sauté for another minute or so.
- Add the sugar, salt, soy sauce and kaffir lime leaves to the chili mixture and cook until the sugar melts.
- Stir in the Mushroom Fried Crab Sticks, dried anchovies and peanuts; toss to coat. Remove from heat once the crab sticks are well coated.
- Spread the mixture out on a baking tray and bake at 180C for about 8 minutes, until the spicy coating on the crab sticks are dry. Cool and store in an airtight container.
