Main Ingredients- 2 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 4 sticks of imitation crab meat (surimi)
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper
- 1/2 stalk of green onion (white parts mainly)
- 2 fresh eggs
- A pinch of black sesame seeds
Seasonings & Others- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce (or tuna extract)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligosaccharide)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce (or tuna extract)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligosaccharide)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the 2 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor, then whisk until smooth and well combined. Properly whisked eggs will create a tender texture in the fried rice without any clumps.
Step 2
Heat a large, deep pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is warm, add the chopped green onion and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Infusing the oil with green onion aroma will significantly enhance the fried rice’s flavor.
Step 3
When the green onion fragrance is released, add the finely chopped green bell pepper and yellow/orange bell pepper. Stir-fry over high heat for about 1-2 minutes to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant colors. Avoid overcooking them until they become mushy.
Step 4
Now, add the shredded imitation crab meat to the pan and stir-fry it with the vegetables briefly. Crab sticks cook quickly, so there’s no need to cook them for too long. Gently toss to combine everything evenly.
Step 5
Push the sautéed vegetables and crab sticks to one side of the pan. Add a little more oil to the empty space, then pour in the whisked egg mixture. Using chopsticks, quickly stir the eggs as they begin to set to create soft scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking them; slightly undercooked eggs will blend better with the fried rice.
Step 6
Once the scrambled eggs are almost done, bring the sautéed vegetables and crab sticks back to the center. Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of corn syrup to the pan. Stir-fry everything over high heat until the seasonings are evenly distributed and coat every grain of rice. This quick stir-frying ensures the flavors are well-infused.
Step 7
Serve the warm fried rice onto a nice plate. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of black sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. Your delicious crab stick and egg fried rice is ready to enjoy! Bon appétit.
