π¦ Creamy Crab & Egg Sandwich: An Easy & Delicious Recipe
Too Good to Be True! Kimmi Food’s Super Simple Crab Egg Sandwich β Perfect for Snacks!
Hello everyone, this is Kimmi from Kimmi Food! π You’ve probably had egg sandwiches before, right? Sometimes, just plain egg can taste a little bland. But, when you add the soft, flaky texture of imitation crab meat (like ‘Crabstick’ or ‘Karemi’), it transforms into a wonderfully rich and flavorful Crab Egg Sandwich. It’s so easy to make, you can whip it up in no time! It’s also a fantastic snack option.
Hearty Ingredients- 10 fresh eggs
- 10 sticks of imitation crab meat (like ‘Crabstick’ or ‘Karemi’)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 tbsp chopped pickles
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp corn syrup (or honey/sugar)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 tomato (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by boiling the eggs. Prepare your fresh eggs and place them in a pot. Add enough water to cover the eggs completely. Once the water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and boil for 15 minutes. After boiling, immediately rinse the eggs under cold water to cool them down, then peel off the shells carefully. (For detailed egg preparation, please refer to recipe @6906883.)
Step 2
Now, let’s make the creamy egg salad. Put on a pair of disposable gloves and place the boiled eggs in a bowl. Mash the eggs with your hands. Mashing them thoroughly until smooth will give you a much softer texture.
Step 3
The onion will add a nice crunch to your sandwich. Finely mince half of the onion. If the pieces are too large, they might be noticeable when you bite, so aim for the smallest dice possible.
Step 4
Regarding the imitation crab meat, any brand will work. While I’m using ‘Karemi’ for this recipe, feel free to use your favorite imitation crab sticks. The type of imitation crab won’t drastically alter the final taste.
Step 5
Add the imitation crab sticks to the bowl. Gently rub them between your hands as if you’re mixing them. This will help them break apart into nice, flaky strands along their natural lines. Don’t use too much force; just gently separate them.
Step 6
A little gentle kneading or massaging with your fingers will make it easier to break down the imitation crab meat. Ensure it separates nicely without large clumps.
Step 7
Now, let’s combine all our prepared ingredients. Add the mashed eggs, the shredded imitation crab meat, and the finely minced onion to the bowl. Using chopped pickles meant for hot dogs can be very convenient. If using pickles, add about 1 tablespoon.
Step 8
It’s time to add the delicious dressing! Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the bowl with all the ingredients. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. It’s important to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the mayonnaise mixture.
Step 9
VoilΓ ! Your incredibly appetizing crab egg sandwich filling is ready. It tastes so good, you could honestly just eat it with a spoon! The combination of ingredients is truly fantastic.
Step 10
Now, let’s assemble the sandwich. You can choose your bread of choice. Both soft sliced bread or soft dinner rolls (like ‘moningppang’) work wonderfully. Generously spread the prepared egg mixture onto your bread.
Step 11
If you prefer a crispier, toasted bread, feel free to lightly toast your bread slices in a toaster. The warm, toasted bread paired with the creamy filling is absolutely delicious.
Step 12
For an extra touch of freshness and color, thinly slice a tomato and place it on top of the sandwich filling. Tomatoes add a lovely bright flavor. (Optional)
Step 13
Heap a generous amount of the crab egg salad onto one slice of bread, then place the other slice of bread on top. Gently press down to help the sandwich hold together.
Step 14
Doesn’t it look incredibly appetizing? Even just half of this sandwich is quite filling and makes for a satisfying meal. The generous filling ensures you feel full and content!
Step 15
Especially when using toasted bread, the delightful contrast between the crispy bread and the creamy filling creates a truly wonderful taste experience. Each bite is a burst of savory goodness.
Step 16
What’s the perfect pairing for such a delicious sandwich? A warm cup of coffee! Enjoy a leisurely brunch with your flavorful sandwich and aromatic coffee β it’s a perfect combination.
Step 17
If you’re using soft dinner rolls (‘moningppang’), simply slice them in half horizontally and generously fill the inside with the crab egg salad. The combination of the soft, slightly sweet roll and the rich, savory filling is absolutely delightful. This is a snack that kids returning from school or kindergarten will absolutely love!
