Yield 8 Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

For wasabi caper sauce
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons drained bottled capers, chopped
2 to 3 teaspoons wasabi paste* (Japanese horseradish paste)
For crab cakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped leek (white part only)
1 whole large egg plus 1 yolk
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon spicy Chinese mustard*
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups panko* (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
About 2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a deep-fat thermometer Make wasabi caper sauce: Stir together all sauce ingredients and chill, covered, until ready to use. Make crab cakes: Wash leek well in a bowl of cold water, agitating leek, then lift out and drain. Whisk together whole egg, yolk, mayonnaise, and mustard in a large bowl, then stir in bell pepper, leek, ginger, and 3/4 cup panko. Stir in crabmeat and chill, covered, 1 hour. Divide mixture into 8 mounds and form into 8 (1-inch-thick) patties. Spread remaining 3/4 cup panko in a shallow dish, then carefully coat patties, 1 at a time, in panko. Heat 3/4 inch oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer. (Adjust heat as necessary; see cooks' note, below.) Fry crab cakes in 2 batches, turning over once, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to several layers of paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F between batches. Serve crab cakes with sauce.

The crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would make them again, but I would use less wasabi in the sauce.

These crab cakes were so good! The crab was fresh and flavorful, and the sauce was creamy and tangy. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these crab cakes for my family and they loved them. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the sauce was the perfect complement.
