directions
Step 1
Cut and separate the king crab legs at their joints. Take each piece with the softer side (white side) of the shell facing up and trim off their shells with a knife to extract the meat. Cut off both ends of the meat to make all of the pieces the same length.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil to 355 F. Dust the crab lightly with flour and dip them in the tempura batter. Deep-fry for 2-3 minutes until the batter is crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onions. Chop the jalapeno into thin pieces.
Step 4
Arrange the fried crab legs on a serving dish and sprinkle with the onion and jalapeno garnish. Make the Ama-zu Ponzu sauce by mixing the ama-zu and ponzu together and spoon this around the tempura.
Step 5
Lightly mix all ingredients together.
