Description

This crab fried rice is made with onion, garlic, egg, and cilantro and garnished with cucumber and lime slices for an easy, delicious weeknight meal.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups water
2/3 cup uncooked long grain white rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 tablespoon white sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 pound cooked crabmeat
3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 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.
