In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, lump crab, imitation crab, and chopped green onions.

 

Stir until well combined.

 

Add salt to taste.

 

 

2. Form the Crab Bombs

 

Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls.

 

Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

 

 

3. Coat with Panko

 

Dip each crab bomb into beaten eggs, ensuring full coverage.

 

Roll in panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy outer coating.

 

Repeat for all balls.

 

 

4. Heat the Oil

 

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pan to 350Β°F (175Β°C).

 

Ensure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the crab bombs.

 

 

5. Fry to Golden Perfection

 

Carefully drop a few crab bombs at a time into the hot oil.

 

Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

 

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

πŸ”₯ Pro Tips for the Best Crab Rangoon Bombs

 

βœ” Chill the mixture – This helps the balls hold their shape while frying.

βœ” Use fresh crab if possible – Fresh crab gives a richer, more authentic flavor.

βœ” Double-coat for extra crunch – For an ultra-crispy texture, dip in egg and panko twice.

βœ” Don’t overcrowd the fryer – Fry in batches to keep the oil temperature steady.
