To prepare the crab balls, you will typically combine the contents of the kit in a bowl. Gently mix the crab meat with the binder until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture. Form the mixture into small, uniform balls. These can then be cooked using various methods, such as baking until golden brown and heated through, or pan-frying for a crispy exterior. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
