Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound , fresh cooked crab meat
2 ounces pork fat from loin
6 peeled water chestnuts
1 scallion
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger root
2 cups deep frying oils
VINEGAR DIP
2 tablespoons black chinjiang vinegar
1 tablespoon yellow rice vinegar
2 tablespoons thin soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • You can serve this dish hot or cold. We prefer the crab balls hot, when their exterior is crisp and the meat hot and moist. They also go better with the vinegar dip when hot. If you prefer to serve them cold or at room temperature, delete the dip, or substitute something like mustard and catsup.Preparation: If you're using food processor, crab and pork fat should be cold. Cut pork fat into cubes. Trim and cut scallion into 1" sections, including greens. Using steel blade, place water chestnuts and scallion in bowl pulse/start to chop vegetables. Add crab meat and pork fat pulse/start to mince. Add eggs, sherry, salt, corn-starch and minced ginger. Pulse/start 3 or 4 times to blend. Don't overdo it you don't want a puree.Deep-frying: In deep fryer, heat oil until bubbles form around a bamboo chopstick held upright in oil. Using teaspoon, form small ball of crab mixture. Test cooking temperature it should brown and cook through in about 5 minutes adjust heat if necessary. Proceed with deep-frying about 6 balls at a time avoid crowding them. Drain on bamboo strainer or towel. If you can't serve them immediately, refry briefly to crisp skin. Avoid overcooking. Vinegar dip: Mix ingredients in a shallow bowl place on serving platter and surround with crab balls.
