Crispy Shokupan Crusts are fried bread crusts coated with sugar. They are not the healthiest, but they’re a cheap and delicious homemade snack. Many of us make sandwiches at home and cut off the crusts from the bread and throw them away. Next time you make sandwiches, save those crusts! Simply deep-fry the bread until nice and crispy, coat with sugar, and that is it. If you want flavor twists, add some cinnamon or Kinako (soybean flour) to the sugar. To avoid the bread becoming greasy, deep-fry at a higher temperature. But be careful not to burn it at the same time. Fry the crusts, stirring constantly until they’re nicely browned and light. Eat them while still warm; they are absolutely delightful! Hope you give it a try!
