Instructions

  1. Preheat 1-inch of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Combine crabmeat, onions, lime leaf slivers, chili, lime juice, fish sauce, oyster sauce, 1 egg, and 3/4 cup panko in a food processor; process to combine.

  3. Add up to 1/4 cup more panko, processing or stirring, until the mixture is moist enough to form cakes easily.

  4. Form the mixture into 2 to 3-inch diameter cakes.

  5. Whisk 1-2 eggs in a small bowl, and combine 3/4 cup panko with garlic salt in another bowl.

  6. Dip each crab cake into the whisked egg, then roll in the seasoned panko mixture to coat thoroughly.

  7. Carefully place the coated crab cakes into the hot oil, reducing heat slightly, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

  8. Serve immediately with Thai sweet chili sauce, optionally with mayonnaise.
