Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    If using freshly cooked jasmine rice, ensure it has cooled down. If using day-old rice, it should be cold and clumped together. This helps achieve the perfect fried rice texture.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the diced carrots and peas, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the carrots are slightly tender.

  3. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix the eggs with the vegetables.

  4. 4

    Add the Rice and Crab

    Add the jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the soy sauce and stir well to combine. Gently fold in the crabmeat, scallions, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with slices of cucumber and tomatoes on the side.
