Happy National Fried Rice Day! Fried rice is the ultimate dairy-free dish that I LOVE to order out and also cook at home! It's a very versatile dish that any meat/tofu can be added. Today I decided to spice things up by making a crab-fried rice dish!


Here is my dairy-free crab-fried rice recipe that dairy-free and even milk lovers will ENJOY!

Step 1: PREP - Cook rice according to the package and prep all of the ingredients, including the aromatics (ginger, garlic, cilantro, and scallions). Prep the whisked eggs as well and set them aside. *Prep all of the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking experience.

Step 2: Heat cooking oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat.


Step 3: Add minced ginger, stirring for 30 seconds.

Step 4: Add minced garlic, mix, and cook until fragrant (about 15 seconds).

Step 5: When the garlic starts turning golden brown, add the cooked rice to the wok/skillet, and increase the stovetop to high heat.

Step 6: Stir fry the rice for approximately 3 minutes (until it's thoroughly mixed with the ginger/garlic or warmed through if you are using leftover rice).


Step 7: FLAVORING TIME - Add the white pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, and mirin to the rice mixture. Stir fry to combine.

Step 8: Using your spoon, spread the rice out evenly along the surface of the wok/skillet.

Step 9: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the rice.

Step 10: Stir the rice until all of the egg is cooked and mixed.


Step 11: Again, use your spoon to spread the rice evenly in the wok/skillet.

Step 12: Now, add the crab to the rice and stir fry thoroughly.

Step 13: When the crab is warmed through, add the scallions and cilantro and stir fry briefly until the herbs are just wilted (about 45 seconds).

Step 14: Serve and finish with an optional squeeze of lime and your favorite chili oil. ENJOY!
