Special Thai Appetizer - Mock Oysters

Heat the Oil.

Heating the Oil

D.Schmidt

If Frying the Crackers: Heat 1/2 to 3/4 cup oil in a small frying pan over medium to high heat. When tiny bubbles begin to form, or when you see the oil beginning to "snake" across the bottom of the pan, the oil is ready.

If you're unsure about the temperature of the oil, try dipping one of the rice crackers into it. If nothing happens, your oil isn't hot enough. If the cracker begins to cook and puff up, your oil temperature is perfect. Turn heat down to medium.
