Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings or 6 small crab cakes

  • 1 egg
  • Juice of half of a lemon
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp.) of Japanese mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)

  • 2 thinly chopped scallions
  • 90 ml (6 tbsp.) of panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For cooking

  • Generous amount of peanut oil  
  • 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs

Direction

  1. In a bowl, combine egg, lemon, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and chili sauce, and mix well. Add crab meat, coriander, scallions and 6 tbsp. of panko breadcrumbs. Season and mix well.
  2. Form 4 cakes and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. If the cakes fall apart, add panko breadcrumbs or mayonnaise.
