Sesame Crab and Brown Rice Cakes
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon  reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon  seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons  bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons  honey
  • 2 teaspoons  sweet rice wine (mirin)
  • 1 teaspoon  toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1 cup  panko (Japanese-style) bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup  chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons  sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons  snipped fresh cilantro
  • 1 pound  cooked lump crabmeat, flaked, or three 6-ounce cans crabmeat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed (about 3 cups)
  • 3 cups  cooked brown rice, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon  peanut oil or cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup  Miso Vinaigrette (see recipe below)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine eggs, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot pepper sauce (if desired), honey, rice wine, sesame oil, and salt. Stir in bread crumbs, green onions, the 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, and the cilantro. Add crabmeat and cooked rice; mix well. Using moistened hands, shape crab mixture into eighteen 1/2-inch-thick patties.*

2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat peanut oil over medium heat. Add one-third of the crab cakes; cook about 10 minutes or until golden brown and heated through, turning once. If crab cakes brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low. Keep warm in a 300 degree F oven while cooking the remaining crab cakes (add additional peanut oil as necessary).

3. Serve crab cakes with Miso Vinaigrette and, if desired, sprinkle with additional sesame seeds. Makes 6 servings.
