CRAB COCKTAIL

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil and wasabi. Peel and mince or grate the ginger into the bowl and add the zest of 1/2 the lime. Squeeze 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice into the bowl and mix everything together.
• Toss the crab in the sauce, and then finely shred the Chinese leaf cabbage.
• Arrange a bed of shredded cabbage on two plates. Divide the crab between them, piling it into the center of each one. Finely chop the scallion and scatter over each plate and then bash some pink peppercorns either in a pestle and mortar - rich in lewd symbolism - or put them in a freezer bag, close it and hit with a rolling pin (more of a comedy moment) and sprinkle these, too, over the crab cocktails.
• Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and put on the side of the plates for extra spritzing.

CRAB COCKTAIL SALAD

Steps:

• Pick over the crabmeat and discard any bits of shell.
• Mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup, Tabasco, mustard, lemon juice, and tarragon.
• Stir in the crab and spring onions. Taste and play around with the balance of flavourings until you get a perfect balance (but hold back - too much tasting will leave your guests with woefully diminished portions!).
• This can be mixed together an hour or two before serving, but bring back to room temperature before assembling the finished cocktail and serving.
• Remove the outer leaves of the Little Gem lettuces and shred the rest thinly. Place in a plastic bag and leave in the fridge until almost ready to serve.
• Take 4-6 sundae glasses or old-fashioned champagne glasses. Divide the lettuce between the glasses and top with the crab cocktail. Serve straight away.
