Make the gelatin egg: combine the unflavored gelatin powder and cold water in a small bowl and stir to combine. Let it sit for 2 minutes until the gelatin blooms and the mixture becomes thick and gel-like.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cassava flour, green onion tops, parsley, chives, ginger, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture and gently fold everything together until just combined — take care not to break up the crab lumps more than necessary.
