Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For wonton crisps
8 square wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
About 6 cups vegetable oil
For crab salad
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup thinly sliced white and pale green parts of scallions (reserve dark green parts for jasmine rice with peanuts and scallions )
Accompaniment: lime wedges
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make wonton crisps:
  • Halve each wonton wrapper to make 2 rectangles, then halve each rectangle diagonally to make 2 triangles. Heat 1 1/4 inches vegetable oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 360°F. Gently lay 4 triangles on oil (do not drop in, or triangles will lose their shape) and fry, turning over once, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds total. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Fry remaining triangles in same manner.
  • Make crab salad:
  • Whisk together zest, juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved, then add olive oil, whisking until combined well.
  • Add crab, celery, and scallions to dressing and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve crab salad in glasses topped with wonton crisps.

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.
