Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tapioca, lower the heat, and simmer until tapioca is tender, about 1 hour. After 45 minutes, add a large pinch of salt. Drain tapioca, and rinse well under cold water.

  2. Step 2

    Place 3 bunches of the shiso leaves, chives, peanut oil and rice-wine vinegar in a blender, and blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste. In a medium bowl, combine half the shiso-chive puree with the tapioca, and toss well. Reserve remaining puree for garnish.

  3. Step 3

    In a medium bowl, combine mushrooms, olive oil and lemon juice, and toss well.

  4. Step 4

    Melt butter in a small saucepan, and add the crab. Saute until crab is heated through, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Chop remaining shiso, and stir into tapioca mixture. To serve, divide tapioca among 4 plates, and top with mushrooms and then with warm crab. Serve immediately.
