Instructions
- Loosen the overnight rice with your hand or a spoon to remove any lumps. Combine the cut chilies and fish sauce in a small saucer and set aside.
- Heat a wok over high heat. Once the wok is fully heated, add 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir-fry until light brown and aromatic. Add the rice to the wok and use a spatula to toss and stir it. Add the light soy sauce and fish sauce, and continue to stir until well combined with the rice.
- Use your spatula to push all the rice to one side of the wok. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the wok and pour in the beaten eggs. Let the eggs cook and set for a moment. Then, use the spatula to fold the rice over the eggs. Wait for about 1 minute, and then continue to stir, breaking the eggs into smaller pieces to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
- Stir in the crab meat and continue to stir-fry. The crab meat may make the fried rice slightly wet. Keep stir-frying until the rice is slightly toasted and fluffy. Add the white pepper powder and scallions, and stir a few times. Then, dish out the fried rice and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges, cucumber slices, tomato wedges, and sliced chilies in fish sauce.
Notes
- I picked the crab meat from a 1.5-lb Dungeness crab, which yields 6 oz crab meat.
- Please use overnight rice, meaning the rice that is cooked a night before and left in the fridge. This will ensure that the fried rice is not "wet" but fluffy as overnight rice has lesser moisture content.
- For this recipe, use light soy sauce, or soy sauce which is lighter in color. I recommend Healthy Boy brand Thai light soy sauce. Darker soy sauce such as Japanese soy sauce or Chinese soy sauce will not yield the best result. If you can't find Healthy Boy brand soy sauce, you can use Taiwanese Kimlan brand light soy sauce.
