Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, shallots, garlic, parsley, lemon oil, cayenne and salt until well-combined. Wrap crabmeat in cheesecloth or paper towels and squeeze out liquid; stir crabmeat into cream cheese mixture. Freeze for 10 minutes. Form mixture into 20 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Freeze 1 hour.

Place 3 bowls-----put flour in the first bowl, buttermilk in the second and panko in the third. Dredge frozen balls in flour, dip in buttermilk and roll in panko. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, prepare Red Chile Jelly. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir sugar and water until sugar is completely dissolved. Place in blender with sambal and vinegar and puree, then strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer. Cool to room temperature.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350 degrees. Fry crab balls for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Red Chile Jelly.
