Quickie dinner that makes great leftovers.

One of my favorite dinner items that was an experiment years ago as become a staple in my diet. I love fried rice, I usually get chicken when ordering from a Chinese restaurant, however a few years ago I tried Crab fried rice. It was amazing! Why did I not eat this before?!

I have since discovered my own recipe for crab fried rice. I cheat because I'm cheap and use pollock (fake crab), which I think works just as well.

Fried rice with crab
Ingredients
1-2 garlic cloves, peeled
large pinch of salt
3 tablespoons oil
1 egg
1 cup cooked jasmine rice (I use Uncle Ben's converted white rice, and make the the 2 serving portion)
large pinch of ground white pepper
larger pinch of white sugar
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 spring (green) onions, cut into 1 cm (1/2 in) lengths
100g (3 oz) cooked crabmeat
1 tablespoon coriander leaves (I ignore this)

Preparation
Mince garlic with salt. Heat oil in a wok and fry garlic until fragrant and beginning to colour. Crack in the egg, allowing the white to firm before scrambling. Add rice and turn down the heat. Fry gently, mixing and tossing. Season with pepper, sugar and light soy sauce: the rice should be well seasoned, but not too salty. Add spring onions and, after a moment, the crabmeat, reserving a little to sprinkle over the finished dish, along with coriander.

I've made this recipe so much that I don't measure anything anymore, with the exception of the rice to cook it in the microwave. I eyeball everything and it works quite well for me. It's also the only thing I cook in my Ikea wok, worth the $7.99. I usually up the ingrediant quantities to make a larger batch so I have lunch for the next day.
I think I found this recipe on the Canadian Living website, but I can't find it anymore, sorry!
