Crab Cakes
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 1 pound 2 ounces (500 grams) crabmeat
- 3 teaspoons Japanese wasabi
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons tamari or Japanese soy sauce
- 4 ounces (100 grams) brown rice flour
- Groundnut or other vegetable oil, for frying
- Limes sliced into segments, to garnish
- Place the garlic and the spring onions into the bowl of a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
- Add the crabmeat, wasabi, rice vinegar, tamari or soy sauce and the rice flour to the bowl.
- Blend the mixture again until it has combined to form a rough paste.
- In a large frying pan, add enough oil to fill the pan to a depth of 1/4-inch.
- Heat the oil until a bread cube sizzles and turns golden-brown when added (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous.
- Do not leave unattended).
- Roll teaspoonfuls of crab mixture into balls with your hands.
- Flatten the balls slightly and carefully place them into the hot oil.
- Fry the crab cakes until they turn golden-brown on both sides and are cooked through (only cook 8 to 10 crab cakes at a time so that they can be turned quickly and the oil temperature doesn't drop too much).
- Drain the crab cakes on kitchen paper.
- To serve place the crab cakes on a clean plate and place the lime segments around the plate.
