Fried Rice Ingredients- 70g crab sticks (shredded into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 bowl cooked rice (approx. 200g)
- 1 fresh egg
- A little scallion (finely chopped)
- 1 chili pepper (seeds removed and finely chopped)
- 1/2 red chili pepper (seeds removed and finely chopped)
- Sesame oil or preferred cooking oil (for flavor)
- 1/2 tsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the crab sticks by shredding them into manageable, bite-sized pieces. Wash the scallions and chili peppers (both green and red), remove the seeds from the peppers, and finely chop them. Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk it well. (Tip: The pale color of the egg in the photo is due to using a special type of egg; regular eggs will work just as well for taste!).
Step 2
Heat about 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a well-heated pan. Pour in the whisked egg and scramble it until it’s about 70% cooked. Push the scrambled egg to one side of the pan, and add the cooked rice to the empty space. Gently break up any clumps of rice with your spatula as you stir-fry it.
Step 3
Once the rice has started to loosen up, add the chopped scallions, oyster sauce (1/2 tsp), and a pinch of salt. Continue to stir-fry, ensuring the seasonings coat the rice evenly. The oyster sauce adds a wonderful umami flavor, so it’s recommended to include it.
Step 4
Now, add the finely chopped green and red chili peppers to the pan. Turn up the heat to high and stir-fry quickly. The addition of peppers not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a hint of spice and a delightful aroma that elevates the fried rice.
Step 5
When the rice grains are separate and appear fluffy, add the shredded crab sticks. Stir-fry them with the rice, just long enough to incorporate them. Be careful not to overcook the crab sticks, as they can become dry; aim to mix them in quickly.
Step 6
Finally, keep the heat on high and give everything a quick toss for about 30 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. Turn off the heat, then drizzle in a drop or two of sesame oil and sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper for an aromatic finish. Your delicious crab stick fried rice is ready to enjoy!
