Ingredients

• 2 cups Jasmine rice
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Cooked crab meat
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 inch Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 4 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Chop the green onions, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and dice the carrot into small cubes.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs until just set, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic, ginger, and diced carrot, sautéing until the carrot begins to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the peas, cooked crab meat, and green onions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes, until the peas are warmed through.

Step 6

Add the cooled jasmine rice to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the low sodium soy sauce over the rice mixture, then season with black pepper. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated.

Step 8

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, breaking them apart with a spatula as you mix them into the rice.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and serve garnished with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of fresh flavor.
