Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh crabmeat
• 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Korean chili paste (gochujang)
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
• Lime wedges, for serving
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, panko breadcrumbs, green onions, mayonnaise, Korean chili paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Take small portions of the crabmeat mixture and shape them into patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. Dip each crab cake into the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the Korean crab cakes hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the cakes. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
7. Enjoy your spicy and flavorful Korean crab cakes!
