M'Sahib made an early morning visit to the fresh market in Phuket Town yesterday morning, returning with a wide variety of seafood, amongst which was a bag of crab meat. I never touch whole crab as though I enjoy the meat, I usually end up wearing most of it trying to get it out of the shell. Anyway, thoughts turned to how to get the best out of it, and I've always enjoyed crab cakes in restaurants, though never made them myself.
Assembled the ingredients.
A lot of fine chopping and mixing (the green beans were par boiled before adding to the mix).
A couple of spoons of mayonaise to help bind the mix together, and ready to go.
Looking good so far, about 5 minutes shallow fried each side.
Pretty chuffed with the end result.
To round things off, and another first for me, made some sweet chlli dipping sauce, which again turned out pretty good.
