Crab Mixture Preparation
1. Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Chill Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

In a separate bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Coating and Frying
4. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (approximately 350°F or 175°C).
5. Form Crab Balls
Using your hands, form the chilled crab mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
6. Coat the Crab Balls
Roll each crab ball in the panko coating mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
7. Fry the Crab Balls
Carefully place the coated crab balls into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
8. Drain Excess Oil
Remove the fried crab balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
