Ingredients:

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (12 ounces; 350g)
1 1/2 TBSPs (20ml) vegetable or canola oil, divided
1 to 3 Thai bird chilies (according to your heat tolerance), finely sliced, plus more for serving
2 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 TSPs; 5g)
1 large egg
Kosher salt
4 ounces (115g) picked cooked crabmeat
2 scallions, thinly sliced (1 ounce; 30g)

Ground white pepper
1/4 cup (60ml) minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 Japanese cucumber, thinly sliced, for serving

Recipe Instructions:

If using day-old rice, transfer to a medium bowl and break rice up with your hands into individual grains before proceeding.
Heat 1/2 TBSP vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until lightly smoking.
Add chilies and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
Immediately add half of rice and cook, stirring and tossing, until rice is pale brown, toasted, and has a lightly chewy texture, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a medium bowl.
Heat another 1/2 TBSP oil until smoking, add remaining rice, and cook, stirring, until it has the same texture as the first batch.
Return first batch of rice to wok and toss to combine.
