Method

Soft Shell Crab

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soft Shell Crab

    Rinse the soft shell crabs under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Coating

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg.

  3. 3

    Coat the Crabs

    Dredge the crabs in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat again in the flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Crabs

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the crabs until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Shrimp Wrapped with Sliced Beef

  1. 5

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix shrimp with minced garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

    Wrap the Shrimp

    Take a slice of beef and wrap it around each shrimp. Secure with a wooden skewer.

  3. 7

    Cook the Wrapped Shrimp

    Grill or pan-fry the skewered shrimp on medium heat until the beef is cooked and shrimp is opaque, about 4-5 minutes.

Vietnamese Egg Rolls

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ground pork, julienned carrots, chopped mushrooms, minced garlic, chopped green onions, fish sauce, and salt. Mix well.

    Wrap the Egg Rolls

    Place about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each egg roll wrapper. Fold and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.

  3. 10

    Fry the Egg Rolls

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the egg rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Fried Shrimp

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 12

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat.

  3. 13

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the shrimp until golden and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Noodles and Fresh Vegetables

    Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 15

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the cucumber. Tear the lettuce leaves into pieces. Prepare mint and cilantro.
