Tempura Soft-Shell Crab

1. 1

   Pour oil to a depth of 1 inch into a large Dutch oven, and heat to 350u00b0.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt.

3. 3

   Stir yolk into soda water in a 2-cup measure until blended; pour over flour mixture, and, using a large fork, gently combine (the batter should remain slightly lumpy and should have the consistency of heavy cream).

4. 4

   Dip 2 crabs into batter, letting excess batter drip back into bowl, and carefully slip into the hot oil, top-side down. Fry 1 1/2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels, then transfer to a baking sheet, and keep warm in a 200u00b0 oven. Repeat with remaining oil and crabs.

5. 5

   Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve with Asian Slaw and Crab Dipping Sauce.
