Steps:
- Flake crabmeat with a fork in a medium bowl; stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise, scallions, soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon wasabi, and zest. Stir in 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Cover with plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper; set aside. In a small bowl, beat eggs with 1 tablespoon water; set aside. In a shallow bowl, stir together sesame seeds and remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.

- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add half the crab cakes; cook, turning once, until golden and crisp on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes.

- Meanwhile, stir together remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi in a small bowl. Using a vegetable peeler, make 3/4-by-2-inch ribbons from cucumber (you'll need about 24 ribbons, or 1 for each cake). Fold each ribbon into thirds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl, beat eggs with the water. In a shallow bowl, stir together sesame seeds and remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- Form 1 scant tablespoon crab mixture into a ball; dip in seasoned flour. Flatten into a 3/4-inch-thick disk about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining crab mixture. Dip cakes in egg mixture, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add half the crab cakes; cook, turning once, until golden and crisp on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper-towel-lined plates to drain. Repeat with the remaining cakes, adding more oil if needed.
- To serve, dot each crab cake with wasabi mayonnaise, and top with a cucumber ribbon and a piece of ginger.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Gently mix the crab meat with the other ingredients. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
- Form the crab cakes into small, flat patties. This will help them cook evenly.
- Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat until they're golden brown and cooked through. Don't overcrowd the pan or the crab cakes will steam instead of fry.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Wasabi mayonnaise is a classic choice, but you can also try tartar sauce, remoulade, or a simple lemon butter sauce.
Conclusion:
These little crab cakes are a delicious and easy appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
