CRAB ROLLS



Crab Rolls image

These are based off crab rolls I had at Obrycki's in Baltimore. Try to get good quality crab, as it matters. Tinned crab isn't very good here. Once made, the salad will keep a couple days in the fridge.

Time 20m

Yield 6 summer rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic chili paste, such as sriracha
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups cooked rice sticks/noodles (about 2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
6 sheets rice paper wrappers
1/2 cup fresh cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup lump crabmeat
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, chili paste, ginger and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside to let the flavors marry for about 10 minutes.
  • For the rolls: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the rice noodles with the sesame oil.
  • Fill a pie pan with warm tap water. Working with one wrapper at a time, soak the rice paper in the warm water for about 30 seconds or until pliable. Lay a few pieces of cilantro and basil across the center of the wrapper. Top the herbs with some crab, followed by some of the red pepper and cucumber. Top with approximately 1/3 cup of the dressed rice noodles. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling, pulling tightly. Fold in the ends and continue to roll to seal. Store on a tray with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Moderately spiced crab meat rolled into Thai spring roll sheets before quickly 'pan' deep-fried and dipped into a magical, tangy dipping sauce! Arrange on lettuce leaves with the dip in the center for a stunning presentation.

Provided by CHEFSANTA

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Wraps and Rolls

Time 30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound crabmeat, drained and flaked
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
1 bird's eye chile, seeded and minced
2 pinches salt
1 (12 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil for deep-frying
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons white sugar
15 butter lettuce leaves, rinsed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the crabmeat, mayonnaise, tamarind paste, chile pepper and salt. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the center of a spring roll square. Fold one corner up just past the filling, and press to seal. Brush the open section of the roll with egg yolk. This does not just seal the roll, it also crisps it. Fold the two corners on either side of the folded corner towards the center. Roll up the filling tightly towards the remaining point. Seal the point with a little more egg if necessary. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • Add enough oil to a heavy skillet to cover the rolls about half way. Heat over medium-high heat until oil is sizzling hot. Fry rolls a few at a time for 45 to 50 seconds, until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • To make the dipping sauce, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic clove and sugar in the container of a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
  • To serve, line a serving platter with lettuce leaves, and place a small bowl of the dipping sauce in the center. Arrange crab rolls on top of lettuce leaves around the dip.

CRISPY CRAB ROLLS



Crispy Crab Rolls image

The secret to these crunchy crab rolls? The dumpling wrapper is made of flattened white bread. Chef Andrew Zimmern calls this "Southern country club meets Southeast Asia." The result: a light and crispy exterior with snowy white crabmeat inside.

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces jumbo lump crab meat, picked over
Freshly ground white pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg yolk, reserve egg white for Crab Rolls, Step 3
Zest of 1 lemon
5 scallions
1/2 cup Thai sweet chile sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
kosher salt
1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons Water
2 large egg whites
1 cup all-purpose flour
9 slices white Wonder Bread, crusts removed

Steps:

  • Crab filling: In medium bowl, combine the crab meat, white pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, mayonnaise, egg yolk (reserving egg white), and lemon zest. Thinly slice the green part of the scallions (reserving the white part) on an angle, and add to the bowl. Stir the ingredients gently to combine, keeping the crab meat chunks as intact as possible.
  • Dipping sauce: In a small bowl, blend the chile sauce, lime juice, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat oil to 375 F. In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch, water, and 3 egg whites (reserving 2 egg yolks) to make a slurry. In another large bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Arrange the bread with the short sides facing you. Spread a heaping tablespoon of crab mixture across the middle of each slice, leaving a ½-inch border at both sides. Use your finger to spread some of the reserved egg yolk along the top and bottom of the flattened bread. Roll and tuck the bread around the crab; press to seal the rolls. Let the rolls rest seam-side down for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg white mixture again to recombine any cornstarch that may have settled to the bottom. Dip each crab roll into the mixture, then dredge in the flour. Carefully transfer the rolls to the oil and fry in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the crab rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Finely slice the white part of a scallion and garnish the chili sauce. Slice the crab rolls in half and serve with the chile sauce.

Tips:

  • Opt for fresh crab meat. Live crabs or fresh crab clusters are ideal, but you can also use high-quality frozen crab meat. Avoid canned crab meat as it often contains fillers.
  • Season the crab meat lightly. Allow the natural crab flavor to shine through. Use a combination of salt, pepper, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. For a more decadent flavor, you can add a touch of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise.
  • Use high-quality bread. A good crab roll starts with a sturdy bread that can hold up to the filling. Brioche, potato bread, and hot dog buns are all popular choices.
  • Toast the bread lightly. This will add a bit of crunch and help the bread to better absorb the crab filling.
  • Don't overpack the rolls. The crab filling should be generously portioned, but not so much that it's overflowing out of the bread.
  • Serve immediately. Crab rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the kitchen. If you're making them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

New England crab rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. With fresh crab meat, flavorful seasonings, and a sturdy bread roll, these crab rolls are sure to be a hit. Whether you're a seasoned seafood lover or new to the world of crab, these crab rolls are a must-try. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
