Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise (I used light mayo)

4 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce (available in asian markets or from the ethnic area of some supermarkets).

3 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped red onion

2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeño chili

1 pound crabmeat, coarsely chopped (I used lump crab from cans)

1 large egg, beaten to blend

5 cups Panko breadcrumbs (the recipe called for fresh bread crumbs, but after reading the reviews on the website from people who had made it, I followed their lead and used the Panko crumbs. Now I can see why.)

Directions

Mix mayonnaise, chili-garlic sauce, and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate chili mayonnaise.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, celery, onion, and jalapeño; sauté 3 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Mix in crab, egg, 1/2 cup chili mayonnaise, and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.

Form crab mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick cakes, using 1/2 cup for each. Dredge cakes in remaining 3 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, turning to coat. Place on baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add crab cakes and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Serve, passing remaining chili mayonnaise separately.

Absolutely agree that panko crumbs make the difference between so so crab cakes and awesome crab cakes. Love the spicy blend used here, just enough to be intriquing, but not enough to blow your head off. Great dish. Thanks.
