CRAB CRISPS - KANI SENBEI



Crab Crisps - Kani Senbei image

Osenbei or rice cracker is generally made with rice flour, but you can find wheat osenbei as well in Japan. This one is not your usual osenbei or rice cracker you find packaged as it uses spring roll wrappers. You can also use gyoza, potsticker, or wonton wrappers too. If using wonton wrappers, this recipe makes about 15-16 wrappers. Instead of the bigger egg roll wrappers I prefer wonton wrappers for the ease of eating by hand. In place of crab, you can also substitute canned tuna as well. The topping can be prepared ahead of time but spread on the spring roll wrappers just before baking and serving. Original recipe comes from Shunju Restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup crabmeat or 1/2 cup canned tuna
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs (panko works the best)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (Tabasco or equivalent)
1 pinch pepper
4 spring roll wrappers or 15 -16 wonton wrappers

Steps:

  • Phreat oven to 320 F or 160°C.
  • Soften the cream cheese in a bowl with a spatula, and stir in the crabmeat or tuna and mayonnaise.
  • Mix in the dried breadcrumbs, soy sauce, salt, hot pepper sauce, and pepper.
  • Place a spring roll wrapper or wonton wrappers on a cutting board and spread the crab/cream cheese mixture or tuna/cram cheese mixture evenly with a rubber spatula or spoon.
  • Place the spring roll sheets or wonton wrappers on a cookie sheet (lined with silicon sheet for baking works great here) and bake until lightly browned and crispy, about 22 - 25 minutes. Keep an eye and do not let them burn.
  • If you used larger spring roll wrappers, it's best to cut them after baking to smaller sizes.

KANI SALAD



Kani Salad image

This quick, flavorful salad, popularized by Japanese restaurants in the U.S., gets a head start with already-cooked imitation crab sticks ("kani" is the Japanese word for crab). We like to make the dressing with Japanese mayo (such as Kewpie), which is richer and a little tangier and sweeter than American mayo. So add a healthy pinch of sugar and a teaspoon or two more rice vinegar if all you can find is American mayo. When choosing a mango for this recipe, pick one that is ripe but still firm -- a very ripe mango will make this dish too juicy. If you have a mandoline, you can make quick work of slicing the vegetables into long matchsticks.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings (about 1 quart)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces imitation crab sticks
2 medium carrots, julienned
2 Persian cucumbers, sliced on an extreme bias then cut into long matchsticks
1 ripe but firm mango, cut into long matchsticks
Kosher salt
1/3 cup Japanese mayonnaise, such as Kewpie
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sriracha
Black sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Shred each crab stick by placing on a work surface and raking a fork along the length of the stick to create long strands. Turn the stick a quarter turn and rake again; repeat on each remaining side. Use your fingers to pull apart any remaining strands. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the carrots, cucumbers, mango and 1 teaspoon salt to the large bowl; toss well.
  • Stir together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar and sriracha in a small bowl. Add to the large bowl and toss well to coat. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, mound the kani salad onto a serving platter or in a bowl and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
