CRAB CASSEROLE (CHINESE BUFFET)
Every time I go to my fave Chinese restaraunt I HAVE to eat this crab casserole. I love the flavors, the texture, heck ... I just love everything about it except for the fact that it makes me wish I had a second stomach just so I could eat more!) At first I didn't think there was any breadcrumbs in it. My MIL said there is. So, I went and bought a bit of it and pulled it apart bit by bit and found there was indeed some breadcrumbs in it. Anyways, I believe this is how they make it. Please let me know what you think.

Tips:
- Choose the right crab. Fresh crab is best, but you can also use frozen or canned crab. If using frozen crab, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. If using canned crab, drain it well and rinse it with cold water.
- Don't overcook the crab. Crab is a delicate seafood, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the crab just until it is opaque and tender.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include asparagus, bell peppers, and snap peas.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with the sauce. The sauce for this casserole is made with cream of celery soup, milk, and butter. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as white wine, garlic, or herbs.
- Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Chinese buffet crab casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover crab. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy.
