Ingredients
For the Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup canned crab meat (drained and flaked)
- 2 green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
- Pinch salt and pepper
For Coating
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- olive oil spray (for baking)
For Dipping Sauce
- sweet chili sauce
- soy sauce (optional, with wasabi)
- ranch or spicy mayo
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. Chill the mixture for 15 minutes.
2. Scoop 1 tablespoon of filling and roll into a ball. Repeat until all filling is used.
3. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Roll each ball in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly in panko.
4. For Frying: Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry bombs in batches for 2–3 minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
For Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray generously with olive oil spray, and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
5. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra flavor, use a combination of sweet chili sauce and spicy mayo for dipping.
