  1. his is a very easy recipe to put together and tastes very good. Even my 15 year old liked it. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. AWESOME!!! I have made these many many times now and love them more every time. I have coupled this with recipe #71230, Steamed Thai Mussels which is also out of this world and they are delicous with an asian style salad. I must admit though that it is a lot more affordable to use the imitation crabmeat and I find that it is hard to tell the difference. Thanks a lot!!!
     
  3. These crabcakes are SO good and so easy to put together. I had 16 ounces of crabmeat and so I used two egg whites instead of one. Also, I used green onions instead of the red as that's what I had on hand. I found that the cakes were shaped easiest if I took a handful of the mixture, squeezed it into a somewhat firm ball and then flattened it. I made mine a bit larger than the recipe called for because my husband and I had this as a main course! We ended up with 11 cakes with only 4 leftover, they were that good. I used a red California Anaheim pepper, which is milder than Thai peppers, for the sauce, which was absolutely superb. I finally made crabcakes that don't fall apart! Thanks so much Evelyn for sharing this recipe....we loved it and I'll be making this again and again. Oh, I served this with a calamari salad and a cold Chinese noodle salad that I picked up at a deli....delicious dinner :)

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
