Main Ingredients

For Cooking

Method

Preparation of Crab & Rice Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cooked rice, egg, green onions, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Gently fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. If the mixture is too wet, you can add more breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Chill Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the mixture firm up.

Cooking the Cakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until hot.

  2. 5

    Form the Cakes

    Scoop out about 1/4 cup of the crab and rice mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat until all mixture is formed into cakes.

  3. 6

    Cook the Cakes

    Place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
