california roll burgers

Last night S & I made crab cakes. They were soooo good, and looked really gourmet, they were so pretty. I wish I had my camera so I could have taken pictures of them. They were pretty easy to make and they don't stick to the pan.

Try it yourself!

Ingredients


• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup (250 mL) Dry bread crumbs
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) Each salt and pepper
• 1 lb (500 g) Surimi (imitation crabmeat), chopped
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) Vegetable oil
• 4 Crusty rolls or hamburger buns
• 1 cup (250 mL) Thinly sliced cucumber
• 1 Ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

• Wasabi Mayonnaise:
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) Wasabi powder
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) Light mayonnaise


Preparation


In bowl, beat eggs. Stir in 1/3 cup (75 mL) of the crumbs, onions, salt and pepper; mix in surimi. Shape into four 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patties. Sprinkle remaining crumbs into shallow dish; dip patties into crumbs, turning and patting to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry patties, turning once, until golden, about 10 minutes.

Wasabi Mayonnaise:
Meanwhile, in bowl, stir wasabi powder with 2 tsp (10 mL) cold water to form paste; stir in mayonnaise.

Cut rolls in half. Toast in toaster or under broiler until golden. Spread wasabi mayonnaise on cut sides of rolls. Layer cucumber, patties then avocado on bottoms; sandwich with tops.
