Best Crabby Rice Recipes

CRAB FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions and garlic in the hot oil until tender. Mix in the rice, sugar, and salt, and cook 5 minutes, until well blended. Stir in the egg until the rice is coated. Increase heat to high, and mix in the crabmeat, green onions, and cilantro. Continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes, until the crab is heated through. Garnish with the cucumber and lime slices to serve.

CRAB FRIED RICE

Steps:

• First, prep all of your ingredients, including your aromatics--ginger, garlic, cilantro, and scallion. Prep the beaten eggs as well and set them aside. Only when you have all the ingredients prepared and ready to go should you start cooking.
• Heat the cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the ginger first, stirring for 30 seconds. Then add the garlic. When the garlic is just cooked (before it starts to turn golden), add the cooked rice to the wok, and turn up the heat to high. Stir fry the rice for 3 minutes or so until it's thoroughly combined with the ginger/garlic mixture and/or warmed through if you're using leftover rice.
• Now for the flavorings: add the white pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, and shaoxing wine to the rice. If it's not quite salty enough for you or if you know you won't be eating it with added hot sauce, now is the time to add salt to taste. Stir-fry to combine.
• Using your spatula, spread the rice out into an even layer along the surface of the wok. Pour the beaten egg evenly over the rice. Stir the rice until all of the egg is cooked and incorporated. The egg coats the rice and makes for a most excellent savory experience. Much better than broken up bits/huge chunks of scrambled egg throughout.
• Before adding the crab, use your spatula to once more spread the rice evenly in the wok. Add the crab to the rice and stir fry thoroughly. When the crab is warmed through, add the scallion and cilantro and stir-fry briefly until the herbs are just wilted. Serve and finish with a squeeze of lime and your favorite chili oil!

OL' FUSKIE FRIED CRAB RICE

Steps:

• Measure the dry rice; then rinse and drain it several times. Put it the rice, water, and salt in a medium pot. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer until the rice is done and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes or more.
• Fry the bacon until crispy in a 12-inch skillet; when the bacon is done, remove it from the pan, set aside, and crumble when cool. Add the oil to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat. Add the celery, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry until the onions are clear; then add the crab and cook until the crab begins to brown, another 5 to 10 minutes. Add the crumbled bacon, cooked rice, and garlic powder, along with salt and pepper to taste, and stir constantly until evenly combined. Cover the mixture and simmer for at least 10 minutes. (If you'd like a meatier mixture, just use more crab and less rice.)

• Add the rice to the skillet and stir until all the rice is separated into grains. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine the soy sauce, sambal oelek, sugar, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small cup, then add it to the rice. Cook, stirring, for another minute.
• Pour the eggs over the rice and let them sit for about a minute. Stir the eggs into the rice and turn off the heat (you're not making scrambled eggs; you just want the eggs to make the rice creamy).
• Fold in the scallions and half of the crabmeat. Let sit for another minute. Taste the rice and season it with salt and pepper or more soy sauce.
• Spoon the rice onto a platter. Scatter the remaining crab and the cilantro over the top and garnish with the lime wedges. Set out a plate of lettuce leaves so you can spoon rice into the leaves, wrap, and enjoy.
