Recipe

Remove as much moisture as possible from the steamed crab meat and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add egg white, pepper, and potato starch to the crab meat and mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
Trim the edges of the bread and cut each slice into four equal squares.
Place a generous, round layer of the crab meat mixture onto one square of bread, then cover with another square and gently press to secure.
Fry the menboshah in oil heated to 140–150 degrees, cooking slowly and gently.
Turn frequently by spooning oil over the top, and remove when the bread is golden brown and the inside is fully cooked.

Mix drained crab meat with egg white, pepper, and starch to form a sticky dough.
Cut the bread into bite-sized pieces.
Fill between two pieces of bread with the crab meat dough to form a sandwich shape.
Fry in oil at 140–150 degrees, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden.

Cooking tips

Frying at high heat will burn the bread before the filling is cooked through, so always fry at a low temperature (140–150 degrees) to ensure even cooking and proper oil drainage.
The more you knead the crab meat mixture, the stickier it becomes, which prevents it from separating during frying.
