CRAB BALLS
We love crab cooked many ways here in Southern Maryland. This is one of my family's favorites. They are golden and crispy on the outside, smooth and savory on the inside! We do not use cocktail or tartar sauce, but feel free to use them if you like. If you use frozen crab meat, drain it well before using. You may also make...

Steps:
- Fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, eggs, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and several grinds of black pepper with a spatula in a large bowl until everything is well combined. (Do not over-stir or shred the crabmeat.) Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to hydrate.
- Using a 1/4-cup measure or 2-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop the crab mixture and roll into balls, transferring to a plate as you go.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Gently add half the meatballs and cook, turning with tongs, until brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs, adding up to 1 more tablespoon of oil as needed.
- Add the first batch of meatballs back to the pot and add the spicy tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Do not stir as it will break up the meatballs; instead, give the pot a shake so the sauce gets under the meatballs and they do not stick to the bottom. Bring to a strong simmer over medium-high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook until the meatballs are heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

DEEP FRIED CRAB BALLS WITH VINEGAR DIP
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- You can serve this dish hot or cold. We prefer the crab balls hot, when their exterior is crisp and the meat hot and moist. They also go better with the vinegar dip when hot. If you prefer to serve them cold or at room temperature, delete the dip, or substitute something like mustard and catsup.Preparation: If you're using food processor, crab and pork fat should be cold. Cut pork fat into cubes. Trim and cut scallion into 1" sections, including greens. Using steel blade, place water chestnuts and scallion in bowl pulse/start to chop vegetables. Add crab meat and pork fat pulse/start to mince. Add eggs, sherry, salt, corn-starch and minced ginger. Pulse/start 3 or 4 times to blend. Don't overdo it you don't want a puree.Deep-frying: In deep fryer, heat oil until bubbles form around a bamboo chopstick held upright in oil. Using teaspoon, form small ball of crab mixture. Test cooking temperature it should brown and cook through in about 5 minutes adjust heat if necessary. Proceed with deep-frying about 6 balls at a time avoid crowding them. Drain on bamboo strainer or towel. If you can't serve them immediately, refry briefly to crisp skin. Avoid overcooking. Vinegar dip: Mix ingredients in a shallow bowl place on serving platter and surround with crab balls.
