Crab salad sandwiches recipe |recipes for imitation crab meat

Crab salad sandwiches are a simple yet delicious way to prepare a nice lunch or dinner. If you are short on time and want to put something together quickly, this recipe is perfect. Yes, it does use imitation crab meat but if you prefer, you can use real crab. These sandwiches are a simple combination of imitation crab, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and green onion. You can add additional seasonings such as season salt, and maybe top them with some cheese if you choose. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package imitation crab
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 stalks celery (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons green onion (finely chopped)
salt and pepper (to taste)
4 large lettuce leaves
4 hamburger buns

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Break up the crab into small chunks. You can do this with your hands or use two forks to shred the imitation crab meat. Place crab into a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, and green onion. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2: Place lettuce onto the bottom half of a hamburger bun, top with crab mixture and the top half of the bun.

Imitation Shark’s Fin and Crab Meat Omelette|imitation crab meat recipe

Ingredients:

6 eggs
1 cup imitation shark’s fin
1 cup crab meat (freshly picked or frozen)
1/2 cup thinly sliced cabbage
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes white pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Some chopped scallions

Method:

Beat 6 eggs in a big bowl. Add in all the ingredients above (except crab meat and cooking oil). Stir well. Heat up a wok and add in the cooking oil. Drop the crab meat into the wok and lightly stir it around for about 1 minute. Pour the beaten eggs mixture into the wok and continue to stir until the eggs start to cook. Break the eggs into small lumps/pieces and make sure they are completely cooked (but not overcooked). Toss in the chopped scallions, do a quick stir, dish out and serve hot.

Cook’s Notes:

1. If you can’t find imitation shark’s fin, you can use glass noodles (also known as cellophane noodles or mung bean noodles) instead.
2. I used freshly picked crab meat from a 1 1/2 pound crab. I saved the orange roes from the crab and top the omelette with them.
3. You can also use lettuce if you wanted to make this dish into omelette cups.
