Fold in the finely chopped green onion until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mock crab pate to a serving dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. For garnish, you can sprinkle a pinch of paprika or a bit of extra chopped green onion on top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
