Surimi-specific recipes?
I’ve always eschewed surimi, aka imitation crab, aka krab. I love crab so much that it just seemed like an abomination (ironically, for those follow kosher, it’s real crab that’s the abomination. But today while I was on my shopping job, I passed by a tasting station that was offering sushi rolls undoubtedly made with surimi. “What the hell?” I thought, and tried one. It didn’t taste like crab, really, although it was a bit seafood-ish. It was really good!
So, my question is, are there any recipes out there that are specifically designed for surimi? Recipes that don’t use it as a substitute for crab, but as an ingredient in and of itself, in a dish that actually tastes better with surimi than it does with crab?
