ASIAN MINI CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Flake the crabmeat with a fork in a medium bowl; stir in 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise and the scallions, the soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the wasabi, and the zest. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and pepper; set aside. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water; set aside. In a shallow bowl, stir together the sesame seeds and remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
• Form 1 scant tablespoon crab mixture into a ball; dip in the seasoned flour. Flatten into a 3/4-inch-high cake about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining crab mixture. Dip the cakes in the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumb mixture.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add half the crab cakes; cook, turning once, until golden and crisp on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper-towel-lined plates to drain. Repeat with the remaining cakes, adding more oil if needed. Let cool completely.
• Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze (uncovered) until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight container; freeze up to 6 weeks.
• To serve, preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the crab cakes on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake until heated through, 10 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi. Using a vegetable peeler, make 24 2 × 3/4-inch ribbons from the cucumber. Fold each into thirds.
• Dot each crab cake with 1/2 teaspoon wasabi mayonnaise; top with cucumber and ginger.

ASIAN CRAB MINI QUICHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°; unroll pie crusts (or roll out your own) and cut out circles with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter; press each circle into ungreased miniature muffin cup- you should have 24.
• Beat eggs in a medium bowl; add half-and-half, green onions, chile, lime peel, ginger and salt; whisk to blend well and stir in crabmeat and cheese; spoon about 1 tablespoon into each crust-lined cup, making sure you don't fill too full or filling may spill out while baking, making quiches difficult to remove from pans.
• Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown around edges.
• Serve warm or cool; store leftovers in fridge.

ASIAN CRAB CAKE BITES

Steps:

• Stir together jalapenos, scallions, ginger, cilantro, egg, salt, and coconut milk in a large bowl. Fold in crabmeat and breadcrumbs (mixture should just hold together). Scoop tablespoons of mixture, and lightly flatten into 1 1/2-inch cakes; arrange in rows on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes (up to 1 week; defrost before dredging and frying).
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Dredge cakes in breadcrumbs to coat. Working in batches, fry cakes, flipping once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, adding more oil as needed. Serve with lime wedges.
