| I honestly thought that February would still be a cold month, but it seems like I got it wrong. It actually feels like summer already! This colorful summer salad by Mr. Nicholas would just be about perfect for our current weather! Interested in knowing what he mixed in there? Then click on the shot! |

This week's post is something that we tried for the fist time at home: Tempura Sticks (Crab and Pacific White Fish Flavor).

Ingredients:
- crab sticks (kani kama/imitation crab meat) - 1 pack
- tempura flour
- tempura sauce
- oil for fying
Procedure:
- Thaw the crab sticks thoroughly.
- Heat oil (for deep frying) in pan.
- Mix tempura flour with water (follow package instructions).
- Once the oil is hot, dip the crab stick in the tempura flour mix then fry. It won't take long; the sticks are already cooked, so once it turns golden brown take it off the hot pan. Place on plate with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Keep warm. I decided to cut the sticks in half; makes for easier eating that way.
- Pour tempura sauce in serving bowl, and place beside the fried crab sticks.
- Dip and enjoy!

My sons always order kani tempura when we eat in our favorite Japanese restaurants and so I thought: why not make some here at home! This time I chose the "easy" way, though. Buying everything (the tempura flour and the tempura sauce) instead of making them from scratch. The result was so-so. I mean, it tasted similar to the ones that we eat in the restaurants, but something was still lacking. Maybe the ambiance from the restaurant? LOL.
All in all, a good enough experience. Will try making my own flour and sauce next time. If I have the time. :P
Please don't forget to add a link back to this site (you can get the buttons here; deciding to use text instead of buttons is fine also) to be able to add your posts below. Many thanks and hope everyone is going to have a great time this weekend!
