Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice
- 1 cup lump crabmeat
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or olive or avocado or peanut oil)
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup shredded carrots (or stir fry vegetables)
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1½ soy sauce (or fish sauce)
- 1½ oyster sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- green onions for garnishing optional
- Thai basil for garnishing optional
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet or large wok over medium high heat. Add green onions and garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add in the shredded carrots. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the open space and scramble until just cooked - about 30 seconds. Incorporate the eggs with the vegetables.
- Add rice, sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir-fry the mixture, ensuring the sauces are evenly distributed. Then, gently fold in the crabmeat. Let the bottom get crispy for 2 minutes. Stir, and repeat a couple of times.
- Transfer the crab fried rice to a serving dish. Garnish with Thai basil, green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired. Serve hot.
