Directions
This recipe of crab cake is kosher because of the use of surimi (as you may know, real crabs are prohibited). The preparation won’t take much time, especially if you already have panko breadcrumbs. And you can handle them even faster if you prefer frying such cakes instead of baking. In that case, you’ll need some more olive oil.
