KANI SALAD (JAPANESE CRAB SALAD)
Steps:
- If your crab sticks are frozen, defrost them in the fridge for a few hours until they are pliable before using them.
- Toast the sesame seeds it in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes. Make sure you watch it carefully and keep moving the sesame seeds so it doesn't burn. Set it aside and let it cool
- If your crab sticks come individually wrapped, remove the plastic wrap and hand shred the crab into thin slices. If you are using imitation crab chunks, use a knife and roughly chop them into big chunks. Place it into a large mixing bowl.
- Finely slice the green onions and place them into the bowl with the crab.
- (Optional) If you are using Japanese fish roe/eggs, add them into the bowl with the crab meat.
- Finely slice the cucumber into matchsticks. If you are mixing it with the crab salad, put it in the bowl with the crab. If you are placing the crab salad on top of the cucumber, set aside the cucumber.
- In a small bowl, mix all the kani salad dressing ingredients together (including the toasted sesame seeds) and pour it into the bowl with the crab meat.
- Mix everything together and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions and serve!

SPICY CRAB PASTA SALAD
This salad is something I came up with after canning cole slaw & mustard over the summer. I wanted to use the ingredients along with a package of immitation crab that needed to be used up. This seems daunting but it really is a nice change from the standard pasta salads we are used to. It's tangy, sweet & spicy with lots of...

Steps:
- 1. Bring 4 qts water to a boil and add pasta. Cook according to package directions until pasta is al dente approximately 9-11 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water.
- 2. Add spicy canned coleslaw (optional) to pasta and chill for 30 minutes to an hour. *See Evelyn Horsley's Canned Cole Slaw Recipe on JAP - to make it spicy I simply followed the recipe and added 2 finely sliced or chopped jalepenos and 2 finely diced serrano peppers to the batch before canning into jars.
- 3. For the sauce: In a mixing bowl combine all remaining ingredients except crab & cheese. Refrigerate covered until you are ready to put the salad together. *Spicy Sweet Mustard - There are lots of mustards on the market so either purchase one or I made my own version taking a little of JAP'ers Evelyn Horsley's & Dana Ramsey's spicy pepper mustard recipes adding honey or sugar and making some adjustments to my taste.
- 4. After all has been chilled add 3/4 of the sauce to the pasta and mix well. Add 2-3 Tablespoons of milk or water to the remaining sauce and mix well then pour into pasta and stir. This just makes it so the sauce isn't so thick.
- 5. Add cubed cheeses of your choice and finely chopped immitation crab and combine well. Garnish with green onion if you like
- 6. You may serve this immediatly but I really prefer to chill this salad for at least another hour to let the flavors marry. **Not a spicy person just use regular course ground mustard in the sauce and don't put the spicy in your canned coleslaw.
