Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sushi rice (short-grain sushi rice)
1 cup water
1 ½ tablespoons sushi vinegar ((or mix 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt))
3 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoons sriracha sauce
4 oz kani crab meat ((imitation crab or canned crab meat))
2 sheets nori seaweed
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice and add to the rice cooker. Then add water and cook according to the instructions.
  • Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl and let it cool. When it's still very warm, mix in the sushi vinegar (or the mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt).

  • Shred the imitation crab meat using your hands or two forks.
  • Add Sriracha mayo and mix well.
  • Cut the nori sheet into two halves with kitchen scissors.
  • Place half of a nori sheet on top of the bamboo mat shiny side facing down.
  • Spread seasoned sushi rice (about 3/4 cup) over nori evenly. Press the rice gently with your hands. (Tips: You can dip your hands in Tezu water to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands).
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rice.
  • Flip the sheet and let the rice side facing down.
  • Add the spicy Kani crab salad to the middle of the nori sheet.
  • Place the thumbs underneath the bamboo mat and lift the edge up and over the filling.
  • Roll the bamboo mat away from you and press the rice and filling together. Keep rolling until the ends meet.
  • More the roll to a cutting board and cut it into 8 pieces.
  • Drizzle more spicy mayo sauce on top of the roll for some extra heat.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup imitation crabmeat
1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce, or to taste
4 rice paper wrappers

Steps:

  • Mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.
  • Fill a shallow bowl with hot water to a depth of 2 inches. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in the water for a few seconds to soften; set on a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 of the cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion in the bottom third of the rice paper.
  • Pull bottom of the rice paper over the filling, using your fingers to prevent it from spilling out the sides.

2 ounces Chinese cellophane or glass noodles, cooked
Dash sesame oil
Dash soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
8 rice papers or spring roll wrappers
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chili paste
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup julienne papaya
1/2 cup julienne carrots
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1 cup Spicy Peanut Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
1 cup lightly packed fresh coriander leaves and upper stems
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon Vietnamese fish sauce
1 tablespoon sambal oelek or other hot chili sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the noodles. Season the noodles with sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, green onions and black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Bring water to a boil in a 10-inch saute pan and remove from the heat. Submerge each spring roll wrapper, 1 at a time, in the hot water, moving it around in the water until soft and pliable, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove and lay on the parchment paper.
  • In another small mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and chili paste. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture over the wrapper and top with 1 tablespoon of the noodle mixture. On top of the noodles, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sprouts. Top the sprouts with the 1 tablespoon of the papaya, 1 tablespoon of the carrots, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of the mint. Fold 2 sides of the wrapper toward the center about 1/4-inch, then roll like a jelly roll, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Fry half of the spring rolls until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Slice each roll in half diagonally. Serve the rolls on a large platter with the Spicy Peanut Sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
  • In a food processor, combine all ingredients together. Process until smooth, then transfer to small bowls for dipping.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Oil, for frying
3/4 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
6 cups green cabbage, shredded
2 cups red cabbage, shredded
3/4 cups green onion, chopped
1/4 cup carrot, finely grated
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound lump crabmeat
1 package spring roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Pickled Ginger Vinaigrette, recipe follows
20 grams bonito base (dashi) (stock made from dried tuna flakes)
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
12 ounces pickled ginger
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups salad oil

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or Dutch oven, add oil to fill 2/3 of the way and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • In a saute pan, add the 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cabbages, green onion, carrot, oyster sauce and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook over high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain excess liquid, and cool. Fold in crabmeat and mix to combine. Separate the sheets of spring roll wrappers, and keep under a slightly damp towel. Place 2 tablespoons of crabmeat filling on the wrapper. Fold nearest edge of wrapper over filling; fold left and right corners toward the center. Roll tightly and seal with the egg wash. Place the spring rolls into the preheated oil and fry until golden brown. Place on paper towels to drain. Serve with Pickled Ginger Vinaigrette.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine dashi, sugar and rice wine vinegar. Transfer mixture to a blender and add fresh ginger, pickled ginger and salt. Slowly add salad oil to the blender. Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a much better flavor and texture than canned or frozen crab meat.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your spring rolls. This will add flavor, texture, and color to the rolls.
  • Don't overfill the spring rolls. Overfilled spring rolls will be difficult to roll and will likely break apart when you fry them.
  • Be careful when frying the spring rolls. Hot oil can splatter, so be sure to wear long sleeves and gloves.

Conclusion:

Spicy crab spring rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With a little practice, you'll be able to make these spring rolls like a pro!
