Method:

• Mix egg whites with crab meat and fresh milk and leave for around 2 – 3 minutes.
• Pour 50ml of oil into a dry pan, add the mixture of egg, crab and milk in and stir fry to medium.
• Wash and drain scallops, marinate with oil, salt and pepper. Heat the pan to a high temperature; add 50ml of oil to the pan, deep fry scallops to golden brown on both sides, put aside.
• Pour the rest oil into a deep pan and mix the wheat flour with some water. Pour the batter into the boiling oil in rows and columns. Use a ladle to shape the batter into desired shape before it’s crispy.
• Place the crispy batter onto the plate, pour the stir-fried crab meat and white egg yolk into the batter, and finish with the scallops and berries.
