Super Easy 🦀 Crab Stick Fried Rice Recipe: The Secret to a Delicious Solo Meal!
Today is a special day for a solo meal at home! My mother is at work, and my father went to a neighbor’s for a drink. This gives me some free time. What should I do with this precious time? I usually make fried rice on my solo meal days, so I decided to make some crab stick fried rice for dinner. When you have some time, making it ahead means you can just quickly re-fry it when you’re ready to eat! Let me show you how to make delicious crab stick fried rice right now.
Essential Ingredients- 1 bowl warm cooked rice
- 3 imitation crab sticks (krab)
- 1/2 green onion stalk
- 1/2 onion
- 1/5 carrot
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables that will add flavor to your fried rice. Finely chop the green onion into 0.3cm intervals. This will help release its fragrant aroma when stir-fried.
Step 2
Dice the onion into small cubes, about 0.3cm x 0.3cm. Dicing them small ensures the onion’s natural sweetness disperses evenly throughout the rice when cooked.
Step 3
Similarly, finely dice the carrot into 0.3cm x 0.3cm pieces, just like the onion. This will add a lovely color and a tender texture to the dish.
Step 4
Shred the imitation crab sticks into bite-sized pieces. You can do this by hand, tearing them lengthwise along the grain. This provides a more satisfying texture than cutting them too finely.
Step 5
Gently beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until smooth. It’s important to break up any large clumps so they incorporate well into the fried rice.
Step 6
Heat the cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions, onions, and carrots, and stir-fry until the vegetables are fragrant and slightly softened. Cooking the aromatics well is key.
Step 7
Once the vegetables look slightly translucent and smell fragrant, pour the beaten eggs into the pan around the edges. Stir and scramble the eggs until they are just cooked through. Then, mix them with the stir-fried vegetables.
Step 8
When the eggs are about 80% cooked, add the warm rice, shredded imitation crab sticks, and oyster sauce to the pan. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry vigorously. The goal is to get the rice grains nicely separated and slightly toasted.
Step 9
Once all the ingredients are well combined and the rice is looking fluffy, reduce the heat to low. Drizzle in the sesame oil and give everything one final stir. This will infuse the fried rice with a wonderful nutty aroma.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top. Your delicious and aromatic imitation crab stick fried rice is ready! Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor.
