Instructions
- Prep all the ingredients: Beat the eggs, chop and separate the scallions, grate the ginger, and drain the crab meat.
- Set a large wok or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once hot, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and move around the pan until fully cooked. Then move the eggs to a plate and chop into small pieces.
- Add the scallion whites and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the remaining butter and drained crab meat to the skillet. Stir and sauté for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cold rice to the pan, followed by the soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil. Stir fry the rice for approximately 5 minutes, until warmed through. Stir once a minute so the rice doesn’t burn.
