Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups uncooked Thai jasmine rice steamed
  • 1/2 lb cooked crab meat
  • 2 eggs scrambled
  • 1/4 cup scallions julienned
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cucumber sliced
  • 1/2 lime
  • 2 tbsp Thai seafood sauce recipe at vocabularyoffood.com/thai-hot-sauce/

Instructions
 

  • Prep | Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
    In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar.
  • Fried Rice | Once the pan is hot, add in oil. When the oil is hot, add in the minced garlic. The garlic should sizzle instantly. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until fragrant.
    Turn the stove to high heat. Immediately add the cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 mins, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
    Pour the sauce over the rice and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 mins, until the rice is evenly coated and slightly caramelized.
    Add the lump crab meat to the pan and stir-fry for another min, until the crab is heated through.
    Make a well in the middle of the pan and add in the scrambled eggs. Once cooked, break into pieces with a spatula and stir them into the rice.
  • Assemble | Plate the rice. Garnish with lime julienned scallions and cilantro. Then drizzle with lime juice and Thai seafood sauce. Be careful not to squeeze more than half of a lime's worth of juice over the rice the Thai seafood sauce already has some. Enjoy hot!
