    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, furikake seasoning, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, beaten egg, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold the crab mixture until combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

    Shape Crab Cakes

    Form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
