Crab And Sushi Rice Fritters Recipes

CRAB RICE

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice. Cover, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, then fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, pulse the celery, garlic, onion and bell pepper in a food processor until minced. Heat the butter and oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the minced vegetables. Saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the crab meat and House Seasoning. Cook until the crab meat has browned, about 5 minutes. Add additional butter, if the vegetables become too dry and begin to brown too quickly. Stir in the rice and tomato. Cover and simmer until the rice is fluffy, 5 more minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

CRAB AND SUSHI RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a deep fryer.
• Mix rice, crab boil seasoning, mayonnaise, parsley and lemon juice. Fold in crabmeat, trying to avoid breaking up lumps. Mix rice flour and bread crumbs, and season with salt and pepper. Form crab mixture into "cocktail size" balls and roll into flour/bread crumb mixture to coat. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain. Serve with cocktail sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
• Cook's Note: Sushi rice is short-grained rice tossed with a dressing of vinegar, sugar and salt. Asian markets carry a packaged mix of this dressing as well as the short-grained rice.

CRAB FRITTERS: ALCAPURRIAS

Steps:

• To make masa, grate bananas and taro root with a hand grater and place in a large bowl. Add flour and mix well. Add water a little at a time. Season with salt and set aside.
• To make the stuffing, saute onion and pepper in oil for approximately 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook until all liquid has evaporated. Add white wine and cook until liquid has evaporated. Add cilantro and chipotle. Season and cool. Add crabmeat.
• To make dumplings, grease a small plate and spread 2 tablespoons of the masa over it. Place 1 tablespoon of the stuffing on top of the spread masa, and cover with 2 more tablespoons of the masa mixture. Roll into a cylinder shape, and slide off plate into a skillet with 1 1/2 inches of hot oil. Fry until golden brown and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

CRAB FRITTERS WITH SPICY MAYO

Steps:

• To make the fritter batter, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In another smaller bowl, whisk together oil, milk, egg and black pepper. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and combine until all dry ingredients are moistened.
• Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer.
• Mix panko bread crumbs, Cajun Seasoning, mayonnaise, parsley and lemon juice. Fold in crab meat, trying to avoid breaking up lumps. Form crab mixture into "cocktail size" balls. Place the crab ball on a slotted spoon, and holding over the bowl of fritter batter, ladle enough of the batter over it to coat. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain.
• Whisk together mayonnaise and Chipotle Chile Powder. Season, with salt, if needed. Serve crab fritters with spicy mayo as a dipping sauce.

SUSHI CRAB BOWLS

Steps:

• For the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid; whisk or shake until the dressing is evenly combined and emulsified. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• For the sesame mayonnaise: Whisk to combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 1 week.
• For the crab bowl: Combine the crab, scallions and sesame mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together, so as not to break up the crab too much, until evenly combined. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve or make this the day before and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to serve, place 1 1/2 cups of the cooked rice in each serving bowl. Divide the carrots, cucumbers and avocado evenly among the 4 bowls. Drizzle the honey orange ginger dressing over the vegetables, to taste. Next, add a scoop of the crab mixture to the center of each bowl. Garnish with the sesame seeds, more sliced scallions, the seaweed snack sheets and togarashi or furikake.
