Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 (6 oz can) lump crab meat (drained well)
5 medium shrimp (peeled and chopped finely)
2 green onion (chopped finely)
4 tbsp cilantro (chopped finely)
1 red chili (chopped finely)
1 tsp ginger paste
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
salt & pepper (to taste)
1 egg
1/2 cup panko breadcrumb
4 tbsp oil
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
2/3 cup panko breadcrumb
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 tsp lime juice
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup rice vinegar
6 tbsp water
1/2 cup sugar
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, shrimp, green onion, cilantro, red chili, ginger puree, one egg, and 1/2 cup panko crumbs. Season with fish sauce, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients gently, and press them to make 2 1/4-inch in diameter and 3/4 inch thick patties. (You will get about 8 patties)
  • Beat 2 remaining eggs in a shallow bowl. Prepare flour and the remaining panko crumbs in separate bowls. Coat the patties in the order of flour, egg, and then panko crumbs.
  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add patties and pan-fry them until they are golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Flip to the other side and fry for another 3 minutes. Adjust the heat level if the surface browns too quickly.
  • Keep the first batch on a wired rack to prevent them from getting soggy on the bottom.
  • To make the sriracha mayo, combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix well.
  • To make the sweet chili sauce, mix rice vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, red chili flakes, and salt in a saucepan and bring to boil. Mix the cornstarch and 2 tbsp water in a small mixing bowl and add to the sauce mixture. Continue to boil until the sauce thickens. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool down.
  • Sriracha mayo and sweet chili sauce can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

THAI STYLE CRAB CAKES



Thai Style Crab Cakes image

This is a formidable crab cake in a style that mimics tod mun, the Thai fish cake that, when made right, packs astonishing flavor. These cakes require shrimp purée as a binder; scallops will also work in place of the shrimp. Just stick a few in a small food processor and whiz for a few seconds, or chop and mash by hand.

Categories     dinner, appetizer, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 medium raw shrimp, shelled, washed and deveined
1 teaspoon nam pla (fish sauce)
1 pound fresh lump crab meat, picked over for cartilage
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped scallion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 fresh chili, preferably Thai, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons bread crumbs, preferably fresh
About 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
Peanut or vegetable oil as needed
Lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Purée shrimp in a food processor (smaller is better) until you have a smooth paste, or chop and mash by hand. Add fish sauce. In a bowl, mix the shrimp purée, crab meat, egg, scallion, cilantro, chili, ginger and salt and pepper; add just enough bread crumbs to stiffen mixture a bit. Refrigerate mixture until you are ready to cook; it will be easier to shape into cakes if you refrigerate it for 30 minutes or more.
  • Season flour with salt and pepper. Film bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Shape crab meat mixture into cakes 1 inch thick and as wide as you want. Dredge each in flour, and cook, adjusting heat as necessary and turning once (very gently), until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Serve with lime wedges.

THAI RED CURRY CRAB CAKES WITH A CHILI DIPPING SAUCE



Thai Red Curry Crab Cakes With a Chili Dipping Sauce image

Another recipe I made for my sisters birthday, very tasty crab cake recipe. I use fresh crab as I love the flavour of it, but canned is fine. It is also very easy to make, more time consuming if you have to crack crab, but you do taste the difference.

Provided by The Flying Chef

Categories     Crab

Time 28m

Yield 10-25 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

350 g crabmeat (I use fresh, I love the taste and prefer it, but canned would be fine.)
550 g uncooked prawns, shelled, deveined
1 1/2-2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (I use Thai kitchen brand.)
3 green onions, chopped coarsely
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
2 teaspoons lemongrass, finely chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (I use Thai kitchen brand again.)

Steps:

  • Blend or Process crab, prawns, paste, lemon grass, coriander, onions and egg until just combined. Shape into small patties using about a tablespoon of mix for each (will make about 25-30.) OR shape into larger patties (will make about 10-12).
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan, cook crab in batches until browned on both sides and cooked through.
  • Serve crab cakes with dipping sauce.
  • For the dipping sauce.
  • Mix lime and sugar together, place in the microwave 30-45 seconds, to dissolve sugar, stir in fish sauce and sweet chili, Place in serving bowl and serve with crab cakes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right crab meat: Use fresh or frozen crab meat for the best results. Avoid using canned crab meat, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Use a food processor to finely chop the crab meat: This will help to create a smooth and even texture for the crab cakes. If you do not have a food processor, you can finely chop the crab meat by hand.
  • Add plenty of fresh herbs and spices: This will give the crab cakes a delicious and authentic Thai flavor. Be sure to use fresh herbs, as dried herbs will not have the same flavor.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes: Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. If you pan-fry the crab cakes over high heat, they will be more likely to burn on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Serve the crab cakes with a dipping sauce: This will add even more flavor to the crab cakes. A popular dipping sauce for Thai crab cakes is a sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy Thai crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
