Crab cakes are made with crab, but this version uses canned salmon and tofu for a fluffy texture. It's easy to make by just mixing all the ingredients in a bowl and frying them.
The origin of this recipe
I adapted the typical crab cake ingredients using a long-time favorite Japanese canned product, 'canned salmon', to create a simple, Japanese-style dish.

  6. 6

    The mixture should be firm enough that it doesn't easily fall off a spoon, making it easy to shape.

  7. 7

    If the mixture is too loose (depending on how well the tofu was drained), add more breadcrumbs to adjust.

  8. 8

    If you don't have a ring mold, cut a milk carton to 7 inches by 1.4 inches, overlap by 0.2 inches, and staple in two places to form a 2.2-inch diameter ring.

  9. 9

    Although using a ring mold helps achieve an even, nice color, you can also wrap the mixture in plastic wrap and shape it into a ball ⇒ proceed to step 14.

  10. 10

    Spread breadcrumbs for coating in a tray, place the ring mold from step 8, and fill it with the mixture from step 6.

  11. 11

    Press down firmly with a spoon to flatten the surface.

  12. 12

    Flip it over, lift the ring mold with one hand, and gently press the mixture with the other hand to lower it.

    A picture of step 12 of Salmon and Tofu Crab Cake Style.
  13. 13

    The ring mold will slide off easily (left side), then shape it by hand and coat it with breadcrumbs (right side).

  14. 14

    If shaping with plastic wrap, use about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the mixture, wrap it into a ball, remove the air, and shape it to about 3 inches in diameter on the breadcrumbs.

    A picture of step 14 of Salmon and Tofu Crab Cake Style.
  15. 15

    Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add a generous amount of olive oil, and fry one side of the patties from step 13 for about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium-low to low.

  16. 16

    Cover and cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes until golden brown, then flip with a spatula.

  17. 17

    Cover again and steam-fry for about 2 more minutes until done.

  18. 18

    The mixture is soft, so using a spatula to flip them will result in a nicer appearance.

Tips

つなぎは卵を使わず長芋のすりおろしでふわふわ感にしましたが、長芋の替わりに卵（1個＝50g）でも作れます。パン粉がオイルを吸うので多めのオリーブオイルで焼くとカリカリっと綺麗に焼けます。
