    1

    Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.

    2

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Ensure it’s hot but not smoking.

    3

    Add the crab meat to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes to heat through.

    4

    Push the crab meat to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the other side and scramble them lightly for about 2 minutes until they are just set.

    5

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet, combining it with the crab and eggs. Stir everything well to mix.

    6

    Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and fry for another 3–5 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

    7

    Finally, add the chopped green onions and stir for about 1 minute.

How to be creative
  • Add a dash of sriracha or chili oil for a spicy kick.
  • Incorporate cooked shrimp for a mixed seafood version.
  • Use quail eggs instead of chicken eggs for a gourmet touch.
Important Tips
  • Use day-old rice for the best texture—it's less sticky and fries up beautifully.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like peas or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
  • Drizzle a little more sesame oil at the end for an aromatic finish.
