CHINESE BUFFET CRAB CASSEROLE RECIPE

CHINESE BUFFET CRAB CASSEROLE RECIPE

Chances are if you go to the Chinese buffet you have probably seen the crab casserole. I am sure most Chinese restaurants make this casserole different but the one here consists of imitation crab, onion and celery that is topped with cheese. You can easily make this casserole at home just by combining the ingredients in a bowl, spreading the mixture into a casserole dish, topping with cheese and the baking in the oven. If you have had this at the Chinese buffet before, you will know that it is very rich, I would recommend serving it as a side dish. Enjoy.
