| Yield: | 40 crab cakes |
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 1 pound 2 ounces (500 grams) crabmeat
- 3 teaspoons Japanese wasabi
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons tamari or Japanese soy sauce
- 4 ounces (100 grams) brown rice flour
- Groundnut or other vegetable oil, for frying
- Limes sliced into segments, to garnish
Instructions
- Place the garlic and the spring onions into the bowl of a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add the crabmeat, wasabi, rice vinegar, tamari or soy sauce and the rice flour to the bowl. Blend the mixture again until it has combined to form a rough paste.
- In a large frying pan, add enough oil to fill the pan to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat the oil until a bread cube sizzles and turns golden-brown when added (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).
- Roll teaspoonfuls of crab mixture into balls with your hands. Flatten the balls slightly and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry the crab cakes until they turn golden-brown on both sides and are cooked through (only cook 8 to 10 crab cakes at a time so that they can be turned quickly and the oil temperature doesn’t drop too much). Drain the crab cakes on kitchen paper.
- To serve place the crab cakes on a clean plate and place the lime segments around the plate.

I don’t taste anything really, I would share a picture but you’re not able to here.
It’s a very expensive recipe, since you have to buy can crab , it’s easy but I’m not a fan.
They were hard to hold together when making the little balls, I don’t taste anything not even the wasabi. I’m bringing them to my sister’s Christmas Eve party and I will have to drizzle some Sricacha on them for flavor. I’m giving this a 2 ⭐.
Very disappointed.
I’m also bringing her Christmas Champagne, hopefully that is yummy.
And I’m making her Christmas Cranberries for Christmas dinner tomorrow.
I’m willing to try some of her other recipes, I would think these cakes would have flavor. They’re not bad but they’re just ok and need something to dip or drizzle on.
They also fell apart, and this recipe doesn’t make 40 crab cakes. Maybe balls but then they will surely fall apart.
Very sad American here..
Cheers from across the pond.
