Ingredients- 2 bowls of rice (warm)
- 70g crab sticks
- 35g onion (about 1/4 medium)
- 35g zucchini (about 1/5 small)
- 20g carrot (about 1/8 medium)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2-3 pinches of salt
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A little toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 egg (for fried egg topping)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables and crab sticks for the fried rice. Wash the zucchini, onion, and carrot thoroughly and dice them finely. Shred or cut the crab sticks into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm).
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a preheated frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion first and sauté until fragrant. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 3
Once the onion starts to turn translucent, add the diced carrot and zucchini. Stir-fry them together for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Step 4
When the vegetables are cooked, add the prepared crab sticks. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute, being careful not to mash the crab sticks. Gently mix them with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Now, add 2 bowls of warm rice. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry, ensuring the rice is well combined with all the ingredients. It’s important to mix evenly to prevent the rice from sticking together.
Step 6
Once the rice is well mixed with the other ingredients, reduce the heat slightly. Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce around the edges of the pan and let it sizzle and cook into the rice. Add 2-3 pinches of salt to enhance the flavor and season to your liking.
Step 7
After all the ingredients are well-fried and seasoned, turn off the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Adding sesame oil after turning off the heat preserves its aroma and enhances the overall flavor.
Step 8
Finally, prepare a fried egg to top the fried rice. You can cook it to your preference, either sunny-side up or fully cooked.
Step 9
Transfer the finished crab stick fried rice to a serving bowl. Top it with the prepared fried egg, and your delicious, savory crab stick fried rice is ready to be enjoyed!
