Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large egg
1 scallion, thinly sliced, white and green parts, separated
2 teaspoons finely grated freshly peeled ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
5 tablespoons low-fat or regular mayonnaise
1 lime
8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells
8 ounces bay shrimp, deveined and finely chopped
4 tablespoons panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), plus up to 2 cups for breading
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon wasabi powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Sprouts for serving, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk the egg with the scallion whites, ginger, soy sauce and 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise in a large bowl. Finley grate the zest and add it and the juice from 1/2 the lime to the mixture. (Cut the remaining 1/2 lime in wedges and reserve for serving.) Fold the crabmeat, shrimp, and 4 tablespoons of the panko into the mixture and season with pepper.
  • 2. Put some panko in a shallow bowl for breading. Divide the crab mixture evenly into 4 patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Coat each patty all over with the panko, transfer to a plate and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, put the wasabi powder in a small bowl, stir in 2 tablespoons water and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. (This should be the consistency of heavy cream.) Set aside.
  • 4. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • 5. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes and cook until light brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the crab cakes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 6. Drain on paper towels. Serve the crab cakes on a bed of sprouts if desired, top with the scallion greens, wasabi mayonnaise and lime wedges.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cakes turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less wasabi in the mayonnaise.
