Main ingredients

  • 12 large Shrimp deveined and cleaned
  • 1 tablespoon Crab meat heaped
  • ½ tablespoon Crab roe optional
  • 3 cloves Garlic chopped

Instructions

  • Add baking powder and a few tablespoons of water to the squid to tenderise it. Wash off the baking powder and water mixture after about 10 minutes.
  • Season the squid, and the shrimp with soy sauce and some ginger.
  • In a hot wok or pan add some vegetable oil and then fry the squid and shrimp for about 3 minutes each separately and set aside.
  • Add some salt to taste to the eggs, fry in the wok, and set aside. If they are not cooked through, this is not a problem. They will cook through when added later on.
  • Over high heat, fry garlic, white ends of the spring onions, and the green chilis.
  • Add carrots, peas, crab meat, and crab roe.
  • Add squid, eggs, and some soy sauce and mix well.
  • Add rice, mix the contents of the wok and then add oyster sauce and more of the soy sauce. Taste to see if you need more soy sauce.
  • Add shrimp, green bell peppers, and some sesame oil and mix again. Add green bits from the spring onions, stir in and turn off heat. Serve hot.

Notes

Crab roe is optional and is not typically used in fried rice. In this recipe, I used crab meat from fresh crab however and it would have been a shame if that had gone to waste. Getting crab meat out of fresh crabs can be quite a chore. You need to be careful not to get any shells into the meat. A lot of effort with minimal result but worth it.
