and learned that you can't make crab cakes with artificial crab meat. Apparently fake crab is made out of old tires or something, because I could NOT for the life of me get it to stick together. I added more breadcrumbs, more mayo, and the crab still wouldn't stick. So, I sprayed an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray, dumped the whole mess in there, and baked it up. It was actually really good in spite of the slightly rubbery crab. My husband liked it even more than I did, probably 'cause after five years of my cooking he doesn't notice rubbery food anymore. Ha ha.

I wasn't sure if the 2 T cilantro was supposed to be fresh or not -- I used around 2 t dry and that was plenty. I skipped the ginger because I hate ginger. I omitted the pepper and bumped up the green onion to 1/4 c.

I'll definitely have to try these with real crab meat one of these days.

Thanks for the recipe, Casey!
