Monday Dinner: Crab fried rice

This fried rice was really good! If you have never made fried rice, definitely use Jasmine rice. It makes great fried rice. I like the subtle taste of crab, but if you want, you can use sausage or ham instead.

Crab fried rice (for 2 people):
Crab (1 6oz can)
Jasmine rice (1 cup uncooked)
Green onions (3 stalks)
Egg (2)
Salt
Pepper
Soy sauce (1 Tbsp)
Vegetable oil (1 Tbsp)
Sesame oil (1/2 Tbsp)

1. Cook Jasmine rice. Chop green onions and separate green and white parts. Strain crabs. Beat eggs.
2. Heat a work with vegetable oil and sesame oil on high heat. Once the wok gets smoking hot, put the white part of green onions in. Stir-fry for few seconds, then add crabs. Stir-fry for few seconds, then add eggs. Keep stirring like when you make scrambled eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Once the eggs start to get cooked (but not completely), add rice in. Stir fry really well so everything gets mixed well. Add a pinch of salt. Stir fry. Then add soy sauce from the side. Stir fry well. Add the green part of the green onions. Stir fry and serve.

This is a really quick meal because the wok gets so hot that everything cooks quickly. To make good fried-rice, you want to make sure that you have everything in front of you when you start stir-frying.

I served it with seaweed soup.
