Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh crab meat
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 unit Red chili, finely chopped
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 unit Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the crab meat: Ensure the crab meat is free of shells and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, fish sauce, red chili, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the Thai-style sauce over the crab meat and gently toss to combine. Fold in the chopped scallions and cilantro. Set aside.
Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice lightly. Toast the buttered side in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
To assemble the sandwich, place 2-3 slices of cucumber on each toasted bread slice. Spoon the crab mixture evenly over the cucumber slices.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top of the crab mixture for added texture and flavor.
Garnish with a few extra cilantro leaves and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with a lime wedge on the side for an extra zesty kick.
