Crab Cakes With Asian Slaw Recipes

THAI-STYLE CRAB CAKES WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Crab Cakes: Mix together the crab, scallions, mayo, lime juice, lime zest, fish sauce, cilantro, ginger and red pepper flakes.
• Using an ice cream scoop, lightly pack the crab mixture into the scoop and scoop out 10 mounds on to a wax paper-lined sheet tray. Freeze, 15-20 minutes, or until slightly firm.
• Remove from freezer and roll each ball first in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg, then in panko and place back on the sheet tray, flattening slightly.
• Pour enough oil to cover the bottom of a large nonstick pan and heat over med/high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Cook the crab cakes in two batches (adding more oil if needed), about 3-4 mins per side, turning once. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with dipping sauce
• Sweet Chili Sauce: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot and add garlic.
• Cook garlic until golden, about 2 mins and then stir sugar, vinegar, chili paste, lime juice and fish sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar is dissolved, about 3 mins.
• Stir corn starch and water together in a small bowl and whisk into chili sauce. Cook about 2 mins and remove from heat. Serve sauce hot or at room temperature.
• *Crab cakes can be held in a 250 degree oven to keep warm.

THAI STYLE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Purée shrimp in a food processor (smaller is better) until you have a smooth paste, or chop and mash by hand. Add fish sauce. In a bowl, mix the shrimp purée, crab meat, egg, scallion, cilantro, chili, ginger and salt and pepper; add just enough bread crumbs to stiffen mixture a bit. Refrigerate mixture until you are ready to cook; it will be easier to shape into cakes if you refrigerate it for 30 minutes or more.
• Season flour with salt and pepper. Film bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Shape crab meat mixture into cakes 1 inch thick and as wide as you want. Dredge each in flour, and cook, adjusting heat as necessary and turning once (very gently), until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Serve with lime wedges.

CHADWICK'S CRAB CAKES WITH SLAW AND WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Gently fold in 1 cup of the bread crumbs. Form into 2-ounce cakes. Coat the cakes with remaining 1 cup bread crumbs. Saute until golden brown on both sides. Place some Asian Slaw on a plate. Top with the crab cakes and Wasabi Mayonnaise.
• In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage and carrots and mix well. Marinate, refrigerated, for 6 hours.
• Combine the wasabi paste and mayonnaise and mix well. Adjust consistency with heavy cream, the consistency should be that of a thick sauce.

CRAB CAKES WITH ASIAN SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with soy sauce; set soy mayonnaise aside for serving.
• Pick over crabmeat to remove any pieces of shell or cartilage. In medium bowl, mix half of green onion, egg white, 2 tablespoons panko, and remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise until blended. Stir in crabmeat. Shape into four 3-in. patties. Coat patties with remaining panko, pressing to adhere.
• Spray 15-1/2" by 10-1/2" jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Lightly spray crab cakes with nonstick cooking spray and place in prepared pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crab cakes are golden and cooked through, turning over once.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine cabbage, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and remaining green onion. Serve crab cakes with Asian slaw and top with soy mayonnaise. Serve any remaining mayonnaise on the side.
