Blue Crab Fried Brown Rice Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients and prepare them as indicated. Make sure the brown rice is cooked and cooled, preferably overnight, which helps in preventing clumping during frying.

2. 2

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Sauté Garlic and Vegetables

   Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the diced carrots and peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4. 4

   Add Rice and Crab

   Stir in the cooked brown rice, breaking up any clumps. Add the blue crab meat and mix well, allowing everything to heat through for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Flavor the Rice

   Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to evenly coat the rice and crab mixture. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

6. 6

   Add Green Onions and Eggs

   Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet or wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Once done, mix the scrambled eggs into the rice.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Remove from heat, garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
