​​​​​​​​​Recipe courtesy of Ron Wozny

INGREDIENTS
  • ​2 limes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 ounces kimchi, drained and finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 ounces panko breadcrumbs, divided
  • 8 ounces lump crab meat
  • 8 ounces jumbo lump crab meat
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

PREPARATION
  • Zest one of the limes with a rasp grater and cut into 6 wedges. Cut the second lime into 6 wedges. Transfer the zest into a large bowl and set the wedges aside.
  • Add the egg, mayonnaise, kimchi, pepper and salt to the bowl with the lime zest. Whisk to combine. Fold in 1 1/2 ounces of the panko and the crab meat.
  • Fill a pie pan with the remaining 1 1/2 ounces of the panko.
  • Divide the mixture into 12 (2-ounce) portions and shape into patties. Transfer the cakes to the pie pan, coat both sides in panko, then place on a cooling rack set inside a half sheet pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, cook the crab cakes, 4 at a time, for approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove to a clean cooling rack set over paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining crab cakes.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges.

We made these for appetizers when Lee, Amanda, Livi, Carter and Reese Pearson came for a visit. And... oh my gosh... these are simply amazing. Sauce?  Trust me, you don't need sauce.
