Crab cakes with a Korean flair! These are great, I like to eat them with sweet and sour sauce, or hoisin sauce! Tasty!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoons asian fish sauce (nuoc mam or nam pla)
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat - drained, flaked and cartilage removed
3 ounces chopped shrimp
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, made from crustless french bread
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, cilantro, fresh ginger, and fish sauce. Mix in crab, shrimp, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Place remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate or shallow bowl. Drop 1/4 of the crab mixture onto breadcrumbs, and turn to coat. Shape into a circle or oval. repeat with remaining crab mixture.
3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook cakes in oil for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
