Spiced Seafood Balls with a Twist



Not your ordinary sweet & sour meal. Something new for the family to taste.
Found this recipe originally named as Anise Spiced-Seafood Balls, but due to lack of ingredients (usually depends on the availability of the ingredients at home), we invented something with a not-so-sour taste and changed its name, ingredients, and directions for cooking. So, that makes it our own original recipe. 


Ingredients for the seafood balls:

100 grams crabmeat / imitation crabsticks, chopped
100 grams shrimp, chopped
1/2 white onion, 2 tbsp. garlic, chopped & minced
1/2 finger chili, seeds removed & chopped *optional
1 egg beaten ---  salt to taste
1/3 cup flour  --- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk


oil
beans, for garnish (broiled)


Ingredients for the sauce:

3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 cup water
flour (estimate for desired thickness of the sauce)
3 tbsp. brown sugar
3 tbsp. vinegar (white wine vinegar)



Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients for balls. Deep fry.

2. Create sauce by heating together all ingredients.

3. Pour sauce over balls and garnish with beans.


Crabmeat Omelette



Ingredients:

3/4 cup crab meat
1 small onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 pieces raw eggs
4 tbsp oil
2 tbsp green onions, minced (optional)
salt to taste
beans as sides *optional*


Cooking procedure:

1. Heat the frying pan and put-in 2 tbsp of butter then allow to melt.
2. Add the onion, crabmeat, and green onions then cook until half done
3. Add salt and pepper to taste then set aside.
4. Heat the same frying pan (apply low heat) and put-in the remaining butter then allow to melt.
5. Crack the eggs and place in a bowl then add some salt
6. Whisk the eggs and pour on the frying pan
7. Tilt the frying pan to allow the uncooked portions of the eggs (liquid form) to occupy the whole surface of the pan. You can also pull from the middle part of the pan to allow uncooked portions of the egg to occupy the space.
8. Put the cooked crabmeat and onions on top of the half side of the omelette.
9. Cover the crabmeat and onions by folding the other side of the omelette.
10. Place in a serving plate.
11.Serve hot with bread or rice. Share and Enjoy!
