Crab with egg is a classic combination in Far Eastern cooking. And I like to use it in simple dishes like this delicious fried rice. You can also turn this into a vegetarian recipe very easily, instead of the crab. use other ingredients, such as sweetcorn , soy sauce, mince or mushrooms.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a few pinches of salt and Pepper. Add the water to loosen the mixture slightly and mix well.
Add half a tablespoon of oil to a non stick pan or wok over a high heat . When the oil is hot, pour in the egg mixture. Stir occasionally, until the egg has set and then transfer it to a bowl and keep to one side.
Pour the remaining oil into the wok and add the garlic. Fry for a minute, then add the onion, cook on a medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until the onion turns translucent.
Add the cooked rice, making sure the grains aren't lumpy. If you need to loosen the grans, add a few tbsp. of water, if it starts sticking to the wok, you may need to add a little more oil.
Now add the sesame oil and crab meat, fry for a minute and then add the soy sauce pepper spring onion coriander and sesame seeds.
Put the egg back in the pan, stir and fry for a minute.
Finally add the juice of half the lime, stir lightly and transfer to a large bowl or plate for sharing . Top with extra coriander and lime wedges, and serve.
