Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Push garlic to the side and pour in 2 beaten eggs, scrambling gently until just set, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Add 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly toasted.
Step 4: Stir in 1 cup fresh crab meat, 3 sliced scallions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until crab is warmed and flavors meld.
Step 5: Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over top, enhancing the bright umami flavors.
