Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Flake crabmeat with a fork in a medium bowl; stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise, scallions, soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon wasabi, and zest.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Cover with plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, beat eggs with 1 tablespoon water; set aside.
  5. In a shallow bowl, stir together sesame seeds and remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  6. Form one scant tablespoon crab mixture into a ball; dip in seasoned flour. Flatten into a 3/4-inch high cake about 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
  7. Repeat with remaining crab mixture.
  8. Dip cakes in egg mixture, then roll in breadcrumb mixture.
  9. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  10. Add half the crab cakes; cook, turning once, until golden and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes.
  11. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper towel-lined plates to drain. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more oil if needed.
  12. Let cool completely.
  13. Transfer crab cakes to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  14. Freeze (uncovered) until firm, about 1 hour.
  15. Transfer to an airtight container; freeze until ready to use, up to 6 weeks.
  16. To serve, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  17. Place the crab cakes on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake until heated through, 10 to 14 minutes.
  18. Meanwhile, stir together remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi.
  19. Using a vegetable peeler, make 24 (2-by-3/4-inch) ribbons from cucumber; fold each ribbon into thirds.
  20. Dot each crab cake with 1/2 teaspoon wasabi mayonnaise; top with a slice of cucumber and a slice of ginger.
