Budget Crab Cakes
I found this recipe on a YouTube cooking channel and I absolutely love the use of imitation crab. I made these on 1 Aug 2021, this will be a regular for us now!
Ingredients
- 500 grams imitation crab sticks, chopped, (1 lb)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup spring onion, sliced
- ½ cup mayo, and as needed
- 1 cup saltine crackers, crushed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- vegetable oil , as needed, for frying
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl, add the first 6 ingredients.
- Mix together, if mixture is too dry, mix in mayo 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency to shape mixture into patties.
- Set out a plate and add the breadcrumbs. Set out 2 more plates or a tray to place patties on.
- Shape mixture into 9-12 patties, roll each in bread crumbs and place on the parchment. Place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour. (I made 9 patties.)
- When you are ready to cook, heat some vegetable oil in a large pan, when hot, fry patties, working in batches.
- Fry until golden brown, turn them over and brown the other side. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
