For the ravioli
200g spanner crab meat*
100g white fish fillet (such as blue eye)
1 egg white
100ml thickened cream.
1/2 bunch chives, chopped
24 wonton sheets, each 8cm x 8cm
1 egg white (extra)
For the dressing
1 bunch coriander leaves and stalks, washed and roughly chopped
60ml ao jiso (shiso dressing)**
90ml vegetable oil
For the vegetable salad
1 carrot
2 radishes
6 leaves Chinese cabbage (wombok)
1/2 swede
1 knob ginger
1 lemon juice
50ml extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
For ravioli: Pick through crab meat to get rid of any shell. Blitz fish fillet in food processor for 10 seconds. Add the egg white and whizz for 10 seconds more. Add the cream and blend until just combined. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix through crab meat and chives. Season to taste.
Place 12 sheets of wonton on a clean bench and brush with egg white (to help them stick). Then divide your crab mousse between sheets. Place another sheet on top and press down to seal, squeezing out any air. If you wish, you can cut the ravioli round with some pastry cutters.
Place on a tray and put in fridge to set for half an hour or so.
For the dressing: Place coriander, ao jiso and half the oil in a blender. Blend until smooth, then add the rest of the oil slowly to emulsify. Store until ready to serve.
For the salad: Julienne all the vegetables very finely, then toss in a bowl with lemon juice and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
To serve: Heat a steamer on the stove. Steam wontons for about 7?8 minutes.
Divide coriander dressing into 4 bowls.
Place 3 steamed ravioli into each bowl and top with the shredded vegetable salad.
