- * Note: Select chile type depending on desired degree of heat wanted.
- Put the flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour 1 c. of the beer into the well and whisk till the mix is just combined. Strain the batter through a sieve into a clean bowl and let it rest, covered, for 1 hour. Before using batter, whisk in additional beer, if necessary, to achieve desired consistency.
- In a small bowl whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce and honey till dissolved. Add in the water, garlic, scallion and chili slices. Set aside.
- Clean the soft-shell crabs by first cutting away the eyes and mouth. Lift up the top side flaps and pull out the feathery gills. Turn the crab over and fold back the tail flap, also called the apron, and pull away from the body and throw away. Place crabs in a shallow dish and add in sufficient lowfat milk to cover. Soak crabs for 10 to 15 min.
- In a heavy deep pan heat 2 inches of peanut oil to 350 degrees. Season the crabs with salt and pepper. Dust the crabs with flour, shaking off any excess. Coat and fry crabs two at a time. Dip each crab into the beer batter and allow extra batter to drip back into bowl. Carefully lower the crabs into the heated oil and fry till golden, turning once, about 2 min per side. Transfer fried crabs to paper towels to drain. Repeat process with remaining two crabs.
- Arrange crabs on individual serving plates. Garnish with scallion brushes, cilantro sprigs and lime wedges. Serve immediately with dipping sauce on the side.
