Brown Butter Emulsion

Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until the milk fats start to brown.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Boil a small saucepan of water, add two eggs and cook for two minutes.
Refresh under cold running water.
Crack the eggs and remove the partially cooked yolks.
Blend the yolks with vinegar, mustard and water until combined.
Slowly add the brown butter to emulsify.
Season with salt, cover with baking paper and leave at room temperature until required.

The salad will contain the following ratios. 50% crab meat, 20% cabbage, 15% apple and 15% radish.
Combine ingredients in a bowl and dress with lemon juice, olive oil, chopped chives and a pinch of bonito flakes. Season.
