Place the ginger and chilli into a mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
In a bowl combine the chilli and ginger with the white crabmeat
coriander and spring onions. Crack in one egg and mix well
then stir in 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs.
Divide the crab cake mixture into 6 equal portions and mould into patties. Place on a tray and chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl with one tablespoon of water to make an eggwash. Place some plain flour and the remaining breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
Dredge a crab cake in the flour
then dip into the egg and coat in the breadcrumbs. Shake gently to remove any excess breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining crab cakes.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the crab cakes for 2-3 minutes on each side
or until crisp and golden-brown all over. Transfer the crab cakes to a baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes
or until piping hot all the way through.
Serve the crab cakes with sweet chilli jam and a mixed leaf salad
