Crab Fried Rice

Dave
Crab fried rice is a Thai Dish that has many complex flavors, but is so simple to make! The crab is the star of the dish with other tangy and sweet elements brought on by soy and oyster sauce among other things. It's generally made with scrambled eggs in rice with other vegetables along with a protein.

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making your teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine your water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic. Place over medium heat and let cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  • Mix together your corn starch and water to create a slurry and add that to the saucepan. Allow to come to a boil and then reduce heat to low and allow to simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, and allow to thicken. Once desired thickness is reached, set aside. Mixture will thicken even more as it cools.
  • Next, place a wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Once pan is hot, add about 1 Tbsp of avocado oil. Toss in your yellow and green onion and Sautee 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add your garlic and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds. Remove and set aside.
  • Next, add 1 more Tbsp of avocado oil to the pan along with 2 Tbsp butter. Whisk your eggs and add them to the pan. Scramble the eggs and remove and set aside.
  • Next, add your onions and garlic back to the skillet. Add in your broccoli, corn, and bean sprouts. Cook over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes to soften the veggies. Add in your day old rice and mix well to combine in the pan.
  • After 1-2 minutes, add in your eggs, sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and salt to taste. Cook for additional 1-2 minutes, fold in your lump crab meat and ensure not to break it up too much.
  • Garnish with green onion and teriyaki sauce. Serve and ENJOY!
