The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, egg and ginger and mix well. Add beer, mix and let batter stand at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
Using a wok or heavy skillet at least 10 inches in diameter, add the cooking oil and heat to 375 degrees F. Dip crabs in batter and fry three crabs at once, dropping them into the oil one at a time. With tongs or slotted spoon, remove crabs and drain them on paper towels.
Serve crabs while still warm. Serve them plain or on homemade egg bread as a sandwich with tartar or hot sauce.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

I was looking for a recipe similar to one we love at our favorite Japanese restaurant. This one is great! We cleaned and quartered the crabs (makes them like finger food). This used more batter but I had doubled the recipe. They fried up beautifully and we even reheated some in the oven on a baking sheet the next night and they were perfect. You could easily fry them ahead of time and keep them warm in the oven and they would be warm and crispy when time to serve. We'll be making these all through soft shell season. Give this recipe a try you will not be disappointed!!!
