Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes about 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over well and rinsed
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons wasabi paste
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain fresh or dried breadcrumbs
1 English cucumber, for garnish
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2/3 cup safflower oil, plus more if needed
1/2 cup drained pickled ginger, for garnish

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; refrigerate 1 hour.
  • 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:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh herbs.
  • Serve the crab spread immediately or chill it for later. If you're chilling the crab spread, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Oriental crab spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be served in a variety of ways. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and hint of spice, oriental crab spread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
