How to Make Oriental Crab Appetizers
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sherry (or rice wine vinegar), minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add the crabmeat, snow peas, and bamboo shoots to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Top each lettuce leaf with a portion of the crab mixture.
- Fold the lettuce leaves around the crab mixture: tuck in the sides, then roll up tightly.
- Arrange the lettuce rolls on a serving platter.
- Scatter the finely chopped toasted walnuts over the rolls.
- **For the sauce:** In a small bowl, combine the Chinese hot mustard and sweet plum sauce.
- Spoon the sauce in a zig-zag pattern onto the platter.
- Place 3 rolls on top of the sauce, arranging them to look like “fallen logs”.
- Garnish with toasted nuts and fresh coriander sprigs.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
