Went all out for something a bit special for this one... I ordered from an online fish specialist... a soft shell crab!!! It's a crab you can EAT WHOLE, claws and all! Didn't know it was a thing, and at £9 for 2 its not exactly a value meal but its not out of budget for a bit of novelty.
Here's our star! Defrosted, dabbed dry and ready to fry, as well as our 2 other new ingredients: some black beans i've been soaking and a bit of lettuce. The prawns and yakisoba can be reheated from yesterday as I cooked extra, and ill do another egg and lemon slice.
A little dusting of flour and then I'll just pan fry 'er
This is a lot of stuff, so I'll just be trying to fill this sandwich as I go... hmm I don't trust these beans to stay inside. I wish i'd bought some softer tinned ones...
Now the lettuce, crab, yakisoba... oh christ how am I going to close this sandwich??
Oh geez we're still not quite done yet...
WHAT NOW???
****
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS?? Maybe i should have scaled down the fillings a little... but still, I feel like the new ingredients didn't really add anything to the already perfected crab trap jr. The whole crab was a cool novelty, sort of a cross between whitebait and crab meat... but I feel like its rare delicacy could be better appreciated on top of a salad and not buried in a tsunami of fried noodles and prawns.
(bonus pic of the chomps once i managed to eat it down to sandwich proportions)
After that... i am feeling SO FULL!!
