"Crab sticks — how ordinary," you might think, glancing at this recipe. I'd say you're wrong! As kids, plenty of us believed they were actually made from crab. And even after learning what's really in them, we kept buying and happily eating them. But even a favorite gets dull if you never switch up the recipe or experiment. Trust me — we found a way to breathe new life into everyday crab sticks. This one is perfect for breakfast and just as good as an appetizer. Crab sticks are made from surimi, a processed paste of white fish, shaped and colored to resemble crab leg meat. In Japan, the home of surimi, it's a popular ingredient used not just for crab sticks but also for fish patties and kid-friendly sausages. Drive about ninety kilometers (55 miles) from Tokyo to Kanagawa and you can even visit the Kamaboko Museum to see everything that's made from it.
