Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Blitz the bread to fine breadcrumbs in a food processor. Put the crab, chilli, egg, lime zest, spring onions, ginger, most of the coriander, half the breadcrumbs and 1 tsp fish sauce in a food processor. Blitz everything together until well combined. Divide the mixture into 12 and shape into mini crab cakes.
- Put the remaining breadcrumbs in a bowl and coat each crab cake in the breadcrumbs.
- Place the crab cakes on a lined baking sheet, brush the tops with oil and bake for 20 mins until golden.
- Mix the lime juice, remaining fish sauce and sweet chilli sauce together in a small bowl. Serve alongside the baked crab cakes and garnish with the remaining coriander.
