It's based on tips I saw on TV.
I assure you really, it's foolproof!

Water from boiling maitake mushrooms = boosts the umami of crabmeat. Aluminum foil cups = shapes the filling. Also a good heating conductor. Toothpick = allows steam to escape, preventing any bursting. That's what I heard.
You can also use shrimp instead of crabmeat Try adding the shrimp before adding white wine in step 1. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Satokan

  4. 4

    Put the mixed ingredients from step 3 into aluminum foil cups, and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

    Remove from the foil cups. Dredge with flour, egg, and panko in that order. Form into desired shapes, secure from the side with a toothpick, then deep-fry at high temperature.
