  In a medium bowl, combine the scallions, cilantro, ginger,
  lime zest, lime juice, and mayonnaise. Stir in the lump
  crab meat and the panko to combine. Cover with plastic
  wrap and chill for 1 to 2 hours.
  
  Using your clean hands, form the crab mixture into 1-inch
  diameter round balls.
  
  Set out 3 bowls, one for flour, one for the beaten egg,
  and one for panko bread crumbs. Roll each crab ball in
  first the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally the
  panko. Set aside on a plate.
  
  Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan on
  medium high heat. Swirl in the butter. After the butter
  has foamed up and melted, place the panko coated crab
  balls into the pan and press down gently with a metal
  spatula. Do not crowd the pan, you may need to work in
  batches. Cook a minute or two, until golden brown on one
  side, then gently turn the crab cakes over and cook until
  golden brown on the other side.
  
  Remove to a paper towel lined plate or to a sheet pan in a
  low oven to keep warm. Sprinkle with lime juice to serve,
  and serve with a slice of lime.
  
  Yield: Makes 16 appetizer sized crab cakes.
  
  Dave's yield: 4 nice main course crab cakes
