- 1/3 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The beauty of this ‘Super Simple Crab Stick and Egg Fried Rice’ lies in its incredibly straightforward ingredients. With just the main stars – crab sticks, eggs, and aromatic green onions – you’re all set! This recipe proves you don’t need a long list of ingredients to create a delicious fried rice, making it perfect for those busy days.
Step 2
It’s best to whisk the egg with a fork. Since you’ll be making scrambled eggs, you don’t need to whisk it perfectly. Just lightly break the egg white strands. Then, add 1/3 Tbsp of cooking wine to help remove any eggy smell and add a touch of flavor, and gently whisk.
Step 3
Heat about 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped green onions and sauté until they become fragrant and slightly softened. This step infuses the oil with a wonderful aroma, enhancing the overall flavor of the fried rice. Once the green onions are fragrant, push them to one side of the pan.
Step 4
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the empty space in the pan next to the green onions. As the egg begins to set, quickly stir it with chopsticks or a spatula to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking them to maintain a tender texture.
Step 5
Gently push the scrambled eggs to one side. Now, pour 1/2 Tbsp of soy sauce into the empty part of the pan. Be cautious, as soy sauce can burn quickly. It’s advisable to lower the heat to low or even turn it off briefly while the soy sauce sizzles and becomes fragrant.
Step 6
Once the soy sauce is gently sizzling and aromatic, quickly mix it with the scrambled eggs and sautéed green onions. This process coats the ingredients with the savory soy sauce, adding a delicious depth of flavor.
Step 7
Now, add 2/3 bowl of warm rice. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and ensure the rice is evenly distributed and mixed with the other ingredients. Once the rice is well incorporated, add the crab sticks, which you can shred into bite-sized pieces, as they are the star of this dish.
Step 8
Add 1/2 Tbsp of oyster sauce to season the fried rice and enhance its savory notes. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce depending on the quantity of rice and your personal preference. If you find the seasoning is still lacking, a tiny pinch of salt can be added.
Step 9
Turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1/2 Tbsp of sesame oil for a nutty aroma. Finish by sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and a grind of black pepper. Your delicious Crab Stick and Egg Fried Rice is now perfectly and easily complete! It’s a fantastic one-bowl meal that even those living alone can whip up quickly.
Step 10
With minimal ingredients and a simple cooking process, this fried rice is perfect for novice cooks to easily prepare and enjoy. It’s especially a great choice for a light yet satisfying lunch or dinner on the weekends, offering both nutrition and delightful taste in one convenient dish.
