Treat your ingredients with care...

• Crab meat — Ensure that the crab meat is cooked and cleaned properly before using it in the recipe. Remove any shells or cartilage.
• Fish stomachs — Soak the fish stomachs in cold water for 30 minutes before using them to remove any impurities and to soften their texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier version, add some chopped chili peppers or a dash of chili sauce.
• Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice, such as mushrooms or snow peas, to enhance the dish's nutritional value and flavor.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add more soy sauce for a saltier flavor or more sugar for a sweeter taste.
• Serve the Crunchy Seafood Delight immediately after cooking to enjoy the perfect crunchiness of the seafood.
• If fish stomachs are not available, you can substitute them with squid or scallops for a similar texture.
