Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb crabmeat, drained , picked clean of shell, lightly squeezed if wet
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions , both green and white parts
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
2 tsp peeled and grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus 1 cup more for dredging
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, plus 1 cup more for dredging
about 6 tbsp peanut or canola oil
sweet chili sauce
4 lime wedges
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp asian fish sauce
2 tbsp water
2 tsp chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp finely chopped lemongrass , tender white part only

Directions:

For serving:
Lime Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Put the crabmeat in a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, scallions, bell pepper, ginger, salt, and pepper and gently combine using a rubber spatula. Add the 1/2 cup coconut and 1/2 cup panko and gently fold in. Divide the mixture into 8 mounds and form into patties about 3-inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Put the patties on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes or longer.
When you are ready to fry the crab cakes, combine the 1 cup of coconut and 1 cup of panko in a shallow container. Lightly dredge the patties in the crumbs, shaking off any excess. Put 2 large nonstick skillets with over medium high heat. Add about 3 tablespoons of oil to each pan. When the pans are hot, place 4 patties in each pan. Turn the heat down to medium and fry the cakes until golden and heated through, turning once with a spatula to brown both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the crab cakes to plates, serving 2 to each person, accompanied by ramekins of sweet chili sauce and lime wedges.
Lime Dipping Sauce:
Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl.
Yield: about 1/2 cup
