In a bowl combine lightly crab meat, peppers, shallots, gingerroot, scallion, and celery. Form into 6 patties. Divide pasta into 6 portions and wrap one portion around each patty. In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot. Cook galettes in batches, turning, until crisp, adding more oil as necessary. Drizzle sauce on serving plates, top with galettes, and sprinkle with chives. (Spicy Mustard and Chive Sauce) In a blender combine well all ingredients except broth. Add enough broth to give a sauce-like consistency.
