Crab season just started, and they had it on sale at the Asian supermarket near our house for $2.99 a pound. Crab is probably one of Uly's favorite foods, but I'm not the biggest fan, unless it's disguised in some manner to make it not too "crabby". We wound up getting 2 ginormous crabs and had them for both dinner and breakfast the next day!
One of the crab dishes I do like to eat is crab cakes, so we decided to make some from our usual recipe from Cook's Illustrated. For our other dish, we decided to go Asian and recreate the crab with cellophane noodles we've enjoyed at The Slanted Door. We were going to wing it and see if we can reproduce it, but they actually had the official recipe posted online! It tasted just like it did at the restaurant.
The next day at breakfast, since we still had some crab cakes left over, we decided to make a dish we've had at restaurants before for brunch: crab cakes eggs benedict. It's pretty much the same as regular eggs benedict, but instead of the ham you use a crab cake! It was our first time poaching eggs and it was a bit overcooked for my taste, but it was still pretty yummy!
