5 green onions, finely sliced.

2 eggs, whisked.

Vegetable oil, enough for frying.
# Instructions:

Stir together the crab, cheeses, onions, and a bit of salt until everything’s smooth. Chill the mixture for half an hour.
02 -
Put the beaten eggs in one shallow bowl and fill another with panko crumbs.
03 -
Scoop up the crab mix and form it into little balls about the size of a half dollar.
04 -
Dunk each ball into the egg, then roll it around in the panko until it's covered all over.
05 -
Heat the oil to 350°F and fry the balls until the outside gets crunchy and golden.
06 -
Set the fried balls on a paper towel to soak up the extra oil.
# Notes:
01 -
It’s best to form all the balls before starting to fry them.
02 -
Feel free to use a mix of real crab and the fake stuff.

These taste amazing when eaten fresh while still warm.
