ASIAN CRAB AND CUKE SALAD
This salad reminds me of the squid and seaweed salad served in japanese restaurants. It's a quick and easy lunch or light dinner. It would also be delicious with shrimp instead of crab.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, shrimp, green onion, cilantro, red chili, ginger puree, one egg, and 1/2 cup panko crumbs. Season with fish sauce, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Mix the ingredients gently, and press them to make 2 1/4-inch in diameter and 3/4 inch thick patties. (You will get about 8 patties)
- Beat 2 remaining eggs in a shallow bowl. Prepare flour and the remaining panko crumbs in separate bowls. Coat the patties in the order of flour, egg, and then panko crumbs.
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add patties and pan-fry them until they are golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Flip to the other side and fry for another 3 minutes. Adjust the heat level if the surface browns too quickly.
- Keep the first batch on a wired rack to prevent them from getting soggy on the bottom.
- To make the sriracha mayo, combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix well.
- To make the sweet chili sauce, mix rice vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, red chili flakes, and salt in a saucepan and bring to boil. Mix the cornstarch and 2 tbsp water in a small mixing bowl and add to the sauce mixture. Continue to boil until the sauce thickens. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool down.
- Sriracha mayo and sweet chili sauce can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Make the crab cakes: Place half of the cracker crumbs in a large bowl. Drizzle in the egg, then stir in the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, celery leaves, celery seeds, mustard powder, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Brush the crab cakes with the 6 tablespoons melted butter and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the salad: Gently toss the lettuce, endive, tomatoes, celery, scallions, chervil and parsley in a large bowl; drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss again. Serve with the crab cakes and sauce.
CRAB CAKES SALAD
Steps:
- For the salad: Cook the beans in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain again and transfer to a large salad bowl. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the shallots, chile and garlic; cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the corn and red and yellow bell peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn turns bright yellow. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, chives and season with salt and pepper. Add the corn mixture to the beans and toss together well. Set aside. Boil a large pot of salted water. Fill a large bowl half full with ice water. Blanch the green beans in the boiling water just until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge into the ice water. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the corn to the boiling water and blanch until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool enough to cut the kernels off the cobs.
- For the crab cakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolks and lemon juice. Stir in the green onions, chives and parsley. Season the mixture well with salt and pepper. Fold in the crabmeat until coated thoroughly. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the mixture and gently mix together. Do not overwork the mixture. Carefully shape into 4 to 6 crab cakes. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the crab cakes and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the crab cakes and cook the other side until golden brown. Toss the mixed greens with the bean salad and adjust the seasonings. Serve the crab cakes with the salad.
THAI STYLE CRAB CAKES
This is a formidable crab cake in a style that mimics tod mun, the Thai fish cake that, when made right, packs astonishing flavor. These cakes require shrimp purée as a binder; scallops will also work in place of the shrimp. Just stick a few in a small food processor and whiz for a few seconds, or chop and mash by hand.

Steps:
- Purée shrimp in a food processor (smaller is better) until you have a smooth paste, or chop and mash by hand. Add fish sauce. In a bowl, mix the shrimp purée, crab meat, egg, scallion, cilantro, chili, ginger and salt and pepper; add just enough bread crumbs to stiffen mixture a bit. Refrigerate mixture until you are ready to cook; it will be easier to shape into cakes if you refrigerate it for 30 minutes or more.
- Season flour with salt and pepper. Film bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Shape crab meat mixture into cakes 1 inch thick and as wide as you want. Dredge each in flour, and cook, adjusting heat as necessary and turning once (very gently), until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Serve with lime wedges.
