Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ⅓ cups water

  • ⅔ cup uncooked long grain white rice

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 medium onions, cut into wedges

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • ¼ pound cooked crabmeat

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

  • ½ cucumber, sliced

  • 1 lime, sliced

Directions

  1. Place water and rice in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and garlic in hot oil until tender. Mix in cooked rice, salt, and sugar; cook, stirring occasionally, until well blended, about 5 minutes. Stir in beaten egg until rice is coated. Increase heat to high and mix in crabmeat, green onions, and cilantro. Cook and stir until crab is heated through, 2 to 5 minutes. Garnish with cucumber and lime slices to serve.
