Thai Crab Fried Rice

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, diced)
• Carrots (1 cup, diced)
• Frozen peas (1 cup)
• Eggs (2, beaten)
• Cooked jasmine rice (4 cups, chilled)
• Crab meat (1 cup, cooked and shredded)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Fish sauce (1 tablespoon)
• Lime juice (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
3. Stir in the diced carrots and frozen peas. Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then mix them with the vegetables.
5. Add the chilled jasmine rice to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps to evenly distribute the ingredients.
6. Fold in the cooked crab meat, soy sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.
8. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
