KARLABOS CREAM CROQUETTES

1. Combine the cream cheese, crab, scallions, garlic, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Make sure the cream cheese is well mixed in.
2. (Wearing gloves can help here!) Using a spoon, take scoops of the mixture and mold into oblong shapes - about 9 of them. They can be as big as you want! Just note they may fall apart during the cooking stage if they are too big. Set aside.
3. Crack an egg into another bowl and beat it with a fork/whisk. Pour out the panko onto a plate. One by one, dip the "naked" croquettes into the egg and then roll them around in the panko. Once finished, set them aside.
4. Get your pan out! Heat it up before adding a thin layer of oil. You know the pan’s ready when water sizzles when it hits the surface. Put a few of the croquettes in at a time. Brown on both sides.
5. Once all the croquettes have been cooked, arrange them on a plate with the salad and lemon wedges...and voila!

These croquettes come out very rich so you may not even need sauce with them!
