I have many recipes that work well with this low fat staple. Recently I experimented trying to imitate the chinese buffet style use of melted chese blends with imitation crab.
Since I had too much movie theater pop corn oil and flavored salt to ever use in a year I decided these would be perfect to cook and season the imitation crab meat in a buttery flavoring that is more intense then my using imitation butter. So using a tablespoon of butter flavor oil and a package of Imitation crab meat sauteed with dashes of the flavorcol popcorn salt, dash of paprika, parsley flakes, 2 cap fulls of cooking Sherry, splash of white wine, and a smothering of blended grated cheese (monterey, colby jack, mild cheddar) melted into the imitation crab meat and placed that on wide wavy noodles.
Would also be better probably if a little soy milk was added so there is enough sauce to cover the noodles, maybe flour powder if you need to thicken the sauce.
This is a lot like imitation
Lobster Nuremberg that I also make using imitation crab meat.
 
What is imitation crab meat anyhow?

It's usually pollock, egg whites, and corn starch formed into strand texture clumps. It's very low calories and 0 fat make it a great dietary choice.
 
The texture is spongey like a crab claw, the taste is not fishy, very mild, so flavor must come from the sautee and seasoning.

I've made a garlic onion spinach and yogurt sauce with a little musturd powder and curry that goes great with imitation lobster over Wide noodles.

Cream (or soy milk and flour powder) with cooking Sherry and a dash or so of Paprika makes a great imitation crab Nuremberg sauce over noodles or rice or they sell those flavor packets for that sauce if you can find them anymore.
