Instructions

  1. 1 In a small mixing bowl, combine mustard, soy sauce and wasabi until the wasabi has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. 2 Place cream cheese in a large bowl (preferably chilled metal). Mix in crab meat, onion, water chestnuts and parsley. Place one spoonful of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges closed. If the edges do not stick together, wet your fingertips lightly with water and pinch the ends together again (this will help to hold the won ton together).
  3. 3 Heat oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, place won tons (approximately 6 at a time) into hot oil. Remove the won tons when they are golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel lined tray. Repeat this process until all won tons are fried. Serve with dipping sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1 Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper so the paper hangs over the sides of the pan.
  2. 2 Stir together cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, crabmeat, green onions, powdered sugar, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl until combined. Transfer to the prepared pan, spreading to an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Lift cream cheese mixture from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the frozen block in half, then cut each half crosswise into 8 sticks (you will have sixteen 4x1-inch sticks.)
  4. 4 Put flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs and water together in a second shallow dish. Put panko in a third shallow dish.
  5. 5 Dredge each cream cheese stick in flour; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into panko to coat both sides. Place the breaded sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  7. 7 Add 1 ½ inches of oil to a medium saucepan. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  8. 8 Fry 3 or 4 sticks at a time until golden brown, about 1 minute. (Keep uncooked sticks in freezer until ready to fry.)
  9. 9 Drain fried sticks on paper towels, then transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven. Repeat to fry remaining sticks.

  5. 5 Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese-mayonnaise mixture on top of the rice in the pan. Layer crabmeat, cucumber, avocado, and cold cream cheese over top, in that order. Spread the remaining cream cheese-mayonnaise mixture over top. Empty the remaining rice into the pan and press downwards until layers are firmly packed. Garnish with sesame seeds. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  6. 6 To serve, mix soy sauce, orange juice, and lime juice in a bowl. Dismount the sushi cake from the springform pan and serve it with the soy sauce.
