Time 40m

Yield 14 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, grated
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
One 24-ounce jar spicy tomato sauce
Flaky salt, for topping
Crushed red pepper flakes, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, eggs, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and several grinds of black pepper with a spatula in a large bowl until everything is well combined. (Do not over-stir or shred the crabmeat.) Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to hydrate.
  • Using a 1/4-cup measure or 2-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop the crab mixture and roll into balls, transferring to a plate as you go.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Gently add half the meatballs and cook, turning with tongs, until brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs, adding up to 1 more tablespoon of oil as needed.
  • Add the first batch of meatballs back to the pot and add the spicy tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Do not stir as it will break up the meatballs; instead, give the pot a shake so the sauce gets under the meatballs and they do not stick to the bottom. Bring to a strong simmer over medium-high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook until the meatballs are heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

Deep Fried Crab Balls with Vinegar Dip image

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound , fresh cooked crab meat
2 ounces pork fat from loin
6 peeled water chestnuts
1 scallion
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger root
2 cups deep frying oils
VINEGAR DIP
2 tablespoons black chinjiang vinegar
1 tablespoon yellow rice vinegar
2 tablespoons thin soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • You can serve this dish hot or cold. We prefer the crab balls hot, when their exterior is crisp and the meat hot and moist. They also go better with the vinegar dip when hot. If you prefer to serve them cold or at room temperature, delete the dip, or substitute something like mustard and catsup.Preparation: If you're using food processor, crab and pork fat should be cold. Cut pork fat into cubes. Trim and cut scallion into 1" sections, including greens. Using steel blade, place water chestnuts and scallion in bowl pulse/start to chop vegetables. Add crab meat and pork fat pulse/start to mince. Add eggs, sherry, salt, corn-starch and minced ginger. Pulse/start 3 or 4 times to blend. Don't overdo it you don't want a puree.Deep-frying: In deep fryer, heat oil until bubbles form around a bamboo chopstick held upright in oil. Using teaspoon, form small ball of crab mixture. Test cooking temperature it should brown and cook through in about 5 minutes adjust heat if necessary. Proceed with deep-frying about 6 balls at a time avoid crowding them. Drain on bamboo strainer or towel. If you can't serve them immediately, refry briefly to crisp skin. Avoid overcooking. Vinegar dip: Mix ingredients in a shallow bowl place on serving platter and surround with crab balls.

DEEP-FRIED CALIFORNIA ROLL RICE BALLS



Deep-Fried California Roll Rice Balls image

We are a family that absolutely loves sushi, but don't always have all the ingredients at home to make it! Invention became the mother of necessity. So here is my reinvented version of the California roll!

Provided by Phat-N-Sassy78

Categories     Sushi

Time 1h20m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces imitation crabmeat, chopped
1 medium avocado, diced
3 cups water
3 cups uncooked instant rice
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup canola oil for frying, or as needed
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare filling: Toss crabmeat and avocado together in a bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill until needed.
  • Bring water to a boil on the stovetop. Add rice, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Set aside until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • When the rice is set up and still hot, blend in cream cheese, soy sauce, garlic salt, and pepper until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and no chunks remain.
  • Scoop out a golf ball-sized handful of the rice mixture and flatten it into a patty. Add about a heaping teaspoon of the avocado-crab filling into the center. Cup your hand and close the rice around the filling. Roll between your hands if needed to seal and get a good round shape; patch any holes with more rice if needed. Roll in bread crumbs until well coated. Repeat to make remaining balls.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Add 1 to 2 balls to the hot oil at a time. If not fully submerged, let each side of the ball fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Continue to fry remaining rice balls.
  • Combine mayonnaise and Sriracha for dipping sauce. Serve with rice balls.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to finely chop the crab meat. This will help the crab cakes to hold together better.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make them tough.
  • Form the crab cakes into 1-inch balls. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the crab cakes. This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Fry the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried crabmeat balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks.
