SHRIMP AND CRAB CAKES WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• 1. Whisk the egg with the scallion whites, ginger, soy sauce and 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise in a large bowl. Finley grate the zest and add it and the juice from 1/2 the lime to the mixture. (Cut the remaining 1/2 lime in wedges and reserve for serving.) Fold the crabmeat, shrimp, and 4 tablespoons of the panko into the mixture and season with pepper.
• 2. Put some panko in a shallow bowl for breading. Divide the crab mixture evenly into 4 patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Coat each patty all over with the panko, transfer to a plate and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, put the wasabi powder in a small bowl, stir in 2 tablespoons water and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. (This should be the consistency of heavy cream.) Set aside.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• 5. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes and cook until light brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the crab cakes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
• 6. Drain on paper towels. Serve the crab cakes on a bed of sprouts if desired, top with the scallion greens, wasabi mayonnaise and lime wedges.

WASABI TEMPURA SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the tempura: To begin, preheat the oil to 375 degrees F, and then begin the batter. In mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt together, blending well. Next, add the egg and again mix. Then stir in the soda water and vinegar, and mix for final time. Keep cold until use and stir again before each use.
• For the sauce: In a bowl, blend the mayo and wasabi, whisking together well to form a smooth sauce. Hold cold until dressing the cooked shrimp.
• For the shrimp: Slice the shrimp from head to tail, forming 2 even pieces; this will yield 46 total pieces. Next, dip and evenly coat 12 shrimp at a time with the tempura batter, and then place in the hot oil. Cook until fluffy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp.
• Once all the shrimp are cooked, toss them with the prepared sauce. Remove from the sauce without excess, and finish with lemon juice. Serve.

SHRIMP CAKES WITH WASABI VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make dashi:
• Wipe any sand or salt from kombu with a dampened cloth.
• Bring water and kombu almost to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add katsuo bushi and bring to a boil, then boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand 3 minutes, skimming any foam. Pour dashi through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl.
• Make shrimp mixture:
• Cook carrot, onion, and mushrooms in 1/4 cup dashi, uncovered, in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until carrot and onion are softened, about 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Stir together shrimp, fish, vegetable mixture, yolk, sea salt, shoyu, and sugar in a bowl until combined well, then knead with your hands to form a paste. Chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.

• Whisk together wasabi paste and mayonnaise, then add mirin and rice vinegar in a slow stream, whisking until blended well. Season with white pepper.
• Make mirin sauce:
• Bring mirin, shoyu, sugar, and 1/4 cup dashi to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir cornstarch mixture, then whisk into mirin mixture and boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
• Fry shrimp cakes:
• Heat oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over moderate heat until it registers 250°F on thermometer. While oil is heating, form shrimp mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) cakes. Fry cakes until light golden, about 2 minutes on each side, then transfer with a wide metal spatula to paper towels to drain. Transfer cakes with spatula to clean paper towels to drain again. Cut each cake into 1/2-inch-wide slices.
