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.

THAI RED CURRY CRAB CAKES WITH A CHILI DIPPING SAUCE
Another recipe I made for my sisters birthday, very tasty crab cake recipe. I use fresh crab as I love the flavour of it, but canned is fine. It is also very easy to make, more time consuming if you have to crack crab, but you do taste the difference.

IMITATION CRAB CAKES
Don't let the title fool you, these are so good! I adapted them from a regular crab cake recipe on Allrecipes when our grocer had imitation crab on sale. The crab cakes may need 2 eggs as reviewers have noted, it depends on how moist your imitation crab is and how finely you flake it. The cakes won't seem to hold together well but they will cook up nicely, just be sure to make them small and carefully flip them when they're nice and brown on the bottom. I've also made these with finely diced red pepper and cilantro, omitting the green onions, and that is probably our new favorite way to prep.
