Ingredients

  • 1 green onion
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup crab meat
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 2 cups steamed rice

sweet and sour sauce

Instructions 

  • Make the sweet-and-sour sauce:
    Combine the first six sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until just before it comes to a boil. In a small bowl, mix the starch and water to make a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the hot liquid, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
  • Prepare the eggs:
    Thinly slice the green onion. Beat the eggs with the salt, then mix in the crab meat and onion. Heat half of the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour in half of the egg mixture and gently stir for a few seconds. Cover with a lid and cook for about 1 minute until softly set. Do not overcook the eggs. Repeat with the remaining oil and egg mixture.
  • Assemble:
    Place a mound of steamed rice in a shallow bowl and drape the egg over the top. Repeat for the second serving. Add the green peas to the warm sauce if you like, or just pour the sauce over the eggs and rice.
