This is something my mother often made for me. Imitation crab tastes much better eaten this way than plain, so I uploaded the recipe.

The crunchy bits will increase if you spread this out and then fry. Those shown in the photo have a large ratio of springy portions, but please mix and match as you like. Recipe by Y8Y

Steps

1

Prepare the ingredients.
2

Whisk the flour in water.
3

Add in the imitation crab, and swirl it around, it will break up all by itself. Deep fry at 180°C / 360°F until golden brown.
4

If you don't want it completely shredded, just break up the ends a bit. You can easily do this with a pair of cooking chopsticks.
5

Dip each side into the batter. They will soften and fall apart easily, so be careful.
6

Deep-fry until golden brown, at 180°C.
7

This is what they should look like after frying.

The ones that have been completely broken up are much more springy in texture. I recommend making these when you feel that you do not have enough for your beer snack, or are lacking enough side dishes.
