Simple Crab Stir Fry (Thailand)
1 cup crabmeat (a large crab, broken up, or "loose" crabmeat) 2 [duck] eggs 1/2 cup hom yai (white onion), diced 1/2 cup khuen chai (Chinese celery) 1/2 cup ton hom (spring onion), sliced thinly 2 tablespoon kratiem (garlic), chopped 1 tablespoon nam pla (fish sauce)
Method: Whisk the eggs with the fish sauce. Place a wok or skillet over medium low heat and saute the onion and garlic in a little oil until golden and translucent. Add the crabmeat, and stir fry until nearly cooked through.
Drizzle in the eggs, using the spatula in a brisk chopping motion to break up the cooked eggs into filaments, then add the remaining ingredients.
Alternatively cook the eggs to form a thin omelette, and then roll it up and slice it, adding the slices of egg to the cooking crabmeat when nearly cooked.
Serving & Storage: This is a "one plate" dish served on its own as a light breakfast, or luncheon dish, or with other items as part of a Thai dinner.
