- Using an ice cream scoop, lightly pack the crab mixture into the scoop and scoop out 10 mounds on to a wax paper-lined sheet tray. Freeze, 15-20 minutes, or until slightly firm.

- Cook the crab cakes in two batches (adding more oil if needed), about 3-4 mins per side, turning once. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with dipping sauce
- Sweet Chili Sauce: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot and add garlic.
- Cook garlic until golden, about 2 mins and then stir sugar, vinegar, chili paste, lime juice and fish sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar is dissolved, about 3 mins.
- Stir corn starch and water together in a small bowl and whisk into chili sauce. Cook about 2 mins and remove from heat. Serve sauce hot or at room temperature.

ETTA'S CRAB CAKES (TOM DOUGLAS)
Living in Seattle, and having eaten these at Etta's, I can attest that Etta's Crab Cakes are superb. They are included in "I Love Crab Cakes: 50 Recipes for an American Classic" by Tom Douglas with Shelley Lance and have been "rereleased" (so to speak) on numerous other websites. One hour of the estimated preparation time is chilling time. Timing is based on buying (admittedly pricey)Dungeness crab meat. If buying cooked crabs and planning to extract crab meat yourself, add at least an hour.

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.

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.
