Equipment
- Skillet or Wok
- Spatula
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 5 cups cooked rice
- 1 can crab meat small can
- 2 cups green peas
- 2 tbsp soya sauce
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- ½ cup onion
- 3 eggs large
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup chopped green onion
- 3 tbsp chopped chives
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup canola oil
Instructions
- Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Start by heating the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is warm, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and fragrant.
- Add the Peas and Seasonings: Next, toss in the green peas, chili flakes, black pepper, and kosher salt. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the peas to soften and the seasonings to infuse the mixture.
- Stir in the Crab Meat and Soy Sauce: Add the crab meat to the skillet, followed by the soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the Cooked Rice: Now, add the cold cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine, making sure the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings and mixed thoroughly with the other ingredients. Let the rice cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
- Fry the Eggs: Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan, creating some space. Crack the eggs into the empty space and scramble them until they’re just cooked through—don’t overcook them! Once the eggs are done, mix them into the rice.
- Add the Green Onions and Chives: Finally, add the chopped green onions and chives to the skillet, stirring everything together. Your Eddie V’s Crab Fried Rice is now ready to serve!
- Serve and Enjoy!: Transfer your crab fried rice to serving dishes and enjoy the fruits of your labor. This dish is perfect as a main course or a side dish to any seafood meal.
Tips
- Use Cold Rice: For the best texture, use rice that has been cooked and then cooled. This prevents the rice from becoming mushy.
- Adjust Spice Levels: If you prefer a spicier dish, feel free to add more chili flakes or even some chopped jalapeños.
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Keep the eggs slightly soft and avoid overcooking them to maintain a nice texture in the fried rice.
- Add More Veggies: Feel free to add extra veggies like carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms to enhance the dish.
