Crab Pillows

- 6 slices white bread, day old
- salad oil
- In a bowl, beat together egg white, water, and sherry until foamy.
- Stir in cornstarch, salt, ginger, and coriander.
- Squeeze crab lightly to eliminate any moisture, then stir into egg white mixture.
- Remove crusts from bread: cut each slice in 4 squares (or get fancy and use cookie cutters for different shapes).
- Mound about 2 teasppons of crab mixture on each square, pressing it firmly to bread and rounding the courners.
- If made ahead, arrange a single layer in a baking pan, cover, and chill up to 8 hours.
- In a deep pan (at least 6 inches in diameter), pour sald oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat to 350 degrees F. on a deep frying thermometer.
- Fry 4 squares at a time, crab side down, until the edges begin to brown (about 30 seconds).
- Turn over and fry for 10 seconds longer; remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately.
