Crab Ball Steam Bun Ingredients

Method

Crab Ball Steam Bun Directions

1

Prepare the Crab Balls

In a large bowl, combine the lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

2

Form the Balls

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3

Steam the Crab Balls

Fill a steamer pot with water and place it over medium heat. Once the water is simmering, place the baking sheet with crab balls in the steamer basket. Cover and steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crab balls are cooked through.

4

Prepare the Steam Buns

While the crab balls are steaming, steam the buns according to package instructions, usually for about 5-7 minutes.

5

Assemble the Dish

To serve, place a crab ball inside a steamed bun, top with a spoonful of pickle slaw, and drizzle with Todd's mustard. Repeat for the remaining buns.
