Mini Crab Patties with Worcestershire Reduction

This giant package arrived at my place few days ago-

Inside the box,

I got my 2 packs of organic udon, 1 pack of organic brown rice, 1 worcestershire sauce, 1 flower crab meat, 1 oyster sauce, and 1 acid cleaning thing for free!!

Yes! You heard me, freeeeeeee!

Thank you Foodbuzz and Asian Food Grocer!

So here's the recipe I came up with using some of the googies I got,

Mini crab patties with worcestershire reduction-

Ingredients (for 6 small patties)?

1 can (6.5 oz) of flower crab meat

2 tablespoons of finely chopped scallion

2 teaspoons of Japanese mayonnaise

1/3 cup of grated parmesan

1 egg

Some flour

Some fine panko (regular bread crumb will do too)

Some orange zest (less than 1 teaspoon)

Some Worcestershire sauce

Small pinch of salt

Small pinch of white pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

How?

Drain out all the extra liquid from the crab meat and transfer to a bigger bowl,

Add 2/3 of the chopped scallion, parmesan cheese, mayo, a small pinch of salt, and a small pinch of white pepper.

Beat up one egg, transfer about half to the mixture, and save the other half for later use,

This will help to bind all the ingredients together,

You might want to add just a little bit of flour into the mixture to help with the binding,

Blend the mixture well and set aside.

Have two plates ready,

One sprinkle with some flour, one sprinkle with some panko.

Form the mixture into 6 small patties,

Take one patty, cover with flour, dip into the remaining beaten egg, and coated with panko,

Repeat the same steps for all the patties.

Now, let's drizzle some extra virgin olive in the pan, turn to high heat and wait till it gets really hot,

Sear both sides of the patties for about 2 minutes each, or just till it turns semi-brown color,

Transfer the patties to a plate.

As for the sauce, simple reduce/heat up the Worcestershire sauce till it thickens a little bit,

Drizzle some onto a plate, place the crab patty, garnish with the scallion we saved earlier.

Makes a perfect h'orderve at the party!
