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.

Provided by Mark Bittman

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:

  • For the freshest crab cakes, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Be gentle when mixing the crab cakes. Over-mixing will make them tough.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. They should be cooked through but still moist in the center.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges.

Conclusion:
