Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Made with this year’s last of Dungeness crab that has not been frozen at home. Since I had it, added crab miso to the mixture to up the umami. This one came out a little looser than I like which took extra effort and frequent hand washing to form 5 cm by 2 cm croquettes or korroke. I think my mixture was not thick enough from under cooking initially. Taste was excellent though. Served with two sauces ie traditional tonkatsu sauce and fresh tomato sauce.

    Much simpler than I was expecting - I was concerned about handling the cooled bechamel but with oiled hands as the recipe states it was very easy. They are incredibly rich but so delicious. I used a 50/50 mix of brown and white crab meat.

    Recipe at https://www.cooked.com/uk/Tim-Anderson/Hardie-Grant-Books/JapanEasy/Small-dishes/Crab-cream-croquettes-recipe . I make a version of this periodically. You need to put the cooked bechamel sauce mixture with crab or any seafood in a shallow, preferably metal pan which cools down quickly in the refrigerator. I normally use square baking glass to spread out the mixture rather thinly and placed in refrigerator. Just putting the mixture in a bowl to cool down may cause the mixture to cool down too slowly which may cause spoilage issues. You also don't need to use crab only either. Can use shrimp, lobster, fish or scallop paste (by pounding with knife into small pieces) which are popular in Hokkaido area.

    Warning! Do not do this recipe. I just wasted 7oz of crab and two hours during the Super Bowl for a choleric artery bomb. No need to elaborate.
