Method

1
Check the crabmeat for bits of shell. Crumble the cold rice apart with your fingers, mince the garlic, and slice the scallions, keeping whites and greens separate.
-
2
Heat half of the oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat and scramble the beaten eggs until set. Move them to a plate.
-
3
Add the rest of the oil with the garlic and scallion whites and stir for 20 seconds. Add the rice and stir-fry until steaming hot all the way through, then season with fish sauce.
-
4
Fold in the eggs and crab and heat until hot throughout. Scatter with the scallion greens and serve with lime wedges.
