Categories     Rice

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3-4 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons ginger ((minced))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
4 cups cooked white rice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine ((optional))
salt ((to taste))
2 eggs ((beaten))
1 cup cooked lump crab meat ((half of a 16 oz. can/225g))
2 scallions ((chopped))
1/4 cup cilantro ((chopped))
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • First, prep all of your ingredients, including your aromatics--ginger, garlic, cilantro, and scallion. Prep the beaten eggs as well and set them aside. Only when you have all the ingredients prepared and ready to go should you start cooking.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the ginger first, stirring for 30 seconds. Then add the garlic. When the garlic is just cooked (before it starts to turn golden), add the cooked rice to the wok, and turn up the heat to high. Stir fry the rice for 3 minutes or so until it's thoroughly combined with the ginger/garlic mixture and/or warmed through if you're using leftover rice.
  • Now for the flavorings: add the white pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, and shaoxing wine to the rice. If it's not quite salty enough for you or if you know you won't be eating it with added hot sauce, now is the time to add salt to taste. Stir-fry to combine.
  • Using your spatula, spread the rice out into an even layer along the surface of the wok. Pour the beaten egg evenly over the rice. Stir the rice until all of the egg is cooked and incorporated. The egg coats the rice and makes for a most excellent savory experience. Much better than broken up bits/huge chunks of scrambled egg throughout.
  • Before adding the crab, use your spatula to once more spread the rice evenly in the wok. Add the crab to the rice and stir fry thoroughly. When the crab is warmed through, add the scallion and cilantro and stir-fry briefly until the herbs are just wilted. Serve and finish with a squeeze of lime and your favorite chili oil!

OL' FUSKIE FRIED CRAB RICE



Ol' Fuskie Fried Crab Rice image

Long as I can remember, crab rice was a monthly treat around our house. As I've raised my own family -- sometimes near the water, sometimes not so near -- I've cherished this dish and added a few touches of my own. If there's a picnic or a family gathering, I'll find a way to get some crabs. When I find folks with a dock, it's not long before I'll be asking them if I can set out a crab trap or two. Because as soon as someone tastes ol' Fuskie crab rice, they're likely to be asking me to make it. My kids beg for crab rice all the time, and just like my mother did with us girls, I make them help me pick the crabs. We sit out on the porch or around the kitchen table, spread some newspapers and go to pickin'. The more hands we've got, the sooner we're ready to cook.

Time 1h10m

Yield about 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
2 1/4 cups warm water
Pinch salt
2 strips bacon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 to 2 pounds crabmeat (lump or claw)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Measure the dry rice; then rinse and drain it several times. Put it the rice, water, and salt in a medium pot. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer until the rice is done and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes or more.
  • Fry the bacon until crispy in a 12-inch skillet; when the bacon is done, remove it from the pan, set aside, and crumble when cool. Add the oil to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat. Add the celery, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry until the onions are clear; then add the crab and cook until the crab begins to brown, another 5 to 10 minutes. Add the crumbled bacon, cooked rice, and garlic powder, along with salt and pepper to taste, and stir constantly until evenly combined. Cover the mixture and simmer for at least 10 minutes. (If you'd like a meatier mixture, just use more crab and less rice.)

CRAB FRIED RICE



Crab Fried Rice image

As a young chef just starting out in New York, I had limited time and money. One of my favorite things to do on my rare days off was to Rollerblade down to Chinatown and explore the amazing ingredients in the markets. While I was there, I would usually get a bowl of fried rice, which was warm, comforting, and filling. In those days, I couldn't afford to get it with a luxe ingredient like crab--I added that later on. By including it in a simple bowl of fried rice, I'm reminded how one special ingredient can make an ordinary dish extraordinary.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
One 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped (see Cook's Note)
4 fresh curry leaves (optional; see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup diced Chinese duck sausage or dry Spanish chorizo
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1/4 cup soy sauce, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons sambal oelek (see Cook's Note)
Pinch of sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
6 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over to remove any shell or cartilage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, quartered
Boston, Bibb, or iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, curry leaves, sausage, and curry powder and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until very fragrant.
  • Add the rice to the skillet and stir until all the rice is separated into grains. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Combine the soy sauce, sambal oelek, sugar, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small cup, then add it to the rice. Cook, stirring, for another minute.
  • Pour the eggs over the rice and let them sit for about a minute. Stir the eggs into the rice and turn off the heat (you're not making scrambled eggs; you just want the eggs to make the rice creamy).
  • Fold in the scallions and half of the crabmeat. Let sit for another minute. Taste the rice and season it with salt and pepper or more soy sauce.
  • Spoon the rice onto a platter. Scatter the remaining crab and the cilantro over the top and garnish with the lime wedges. Set out a plate of lettuce leaves so you can spoon rice into the leaves, wrap, and enjoy.

CRAB RICE



Crab Rice image

Walk into a Gullah restaurant and you're sure to find crab rice on the menu. It's our version of fried rice, and it is the perfect way to use up any leftover rice you may have. Succulent blue crab claw meat is what makes this dish so special. Serve it as a side or as a main dish.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups chicken stock
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, such as Carolina Gold, rinsed to remove the starch
1 stalk celery, cut into large pieces
1 clove garlic
1 large onion, cut into large pieces
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into large pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 pound blue crab claw meat, picked through to remove any shells
2 generous pinches Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 large tomato, diced (1 cup)
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice. Cover, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, then fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, pulse the celery, garlic, onion and bell pepper in a food processor until minced. Heat the butter and oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the minced vegetables. Saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the crab meat and House Seasoning. Cook until the crab meat has browned, about 5 minutes. Add additional butter, if the vegetables become too dry and begin to brown too quickly. Stir in the rice and tomato. Cover and simmer until the rice is fluffy, 5 more minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
  • Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

CRAB FRIED RICE



Crab Fried Rice image

Excellent fragrant dish. Beautiful with my prawn and mussel curry. I've only ever made it with the white meat from a freshly cooked crab, but it might be OK with tinned white meat. Garnish with sliced cucumber and lime slices to serve, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh crab, fragrant jasmine rice, and flavorful vegetables make all the difference in this dish.
  • Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked al dente, with a slightly chewy texture. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: Cook the ingredients in small batches to ensure that they cook evenly and don't steam.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
  • Add the crab last: Crab cooks quickly, so add it to the wok at the end of the cooking process to prevent it from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Fried rice with crab is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a quick snack. With its combination of savory crab, fluffy rice, and colorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried rice with crab a try. You won't be disappointed!
