THAI STYLE CRAB CAKES image

Categories     Fish     Sauté

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh lump crab meat, picked over for cartilage
1 teaspoon nam pla (fish sauce)
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped scallion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 fresh chili, preferably Thai, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Salt and 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:

  • 1. 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. 2. 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

These crab cakes were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and had a delicious Thai flavor. I served them with a sweet chili sauce and they were perfect.
