This Crab Fried Rice brings some thai flavor to traditional fried rice! Cilantro, lime and ginger make this crab fried rice fragrant and delicious!
Today, I'm sharing a SUPER delicious Crab Fried Rice recipe. But first, I have to share with you how this recipe came to be.
Our little family recently moved to the 'burbs of Kansas City. We moved in search of better schools, safer neighborhoods and more space. Before we moved, we lived in the coolest neighborhood ever. I talked about it a little bit in this recipe for Ooey Gooey Butter Donuts.

Crab Fried Rice
We're adjusting to suburban life. Nice parks, great neighbors, and quiet are welcome in this phase of our life. The one thing that we have not gotten used to is the lack of great food in our area. We were so spoiled with local restaurants within walking distance of our old house. Our new neighborhood's most exotic location is Hooter's (I wish I was kidding).
But, there's always a silver lining, right? In a tiny strip mall, we found a tiny Thai restaurant. It's about two miles from our house, and is a total hidden gem. The menu is more adventurous than most Thai restaurants here, and sometimes creative to the point of me questioning the sanity of the owner. Nonetheless, I have to thank them for this recipe.
I frequently order the crab fried rice from our new favorite Thai restaurant. I love the fresh take on flavors. Cilantro, lime and ginger seamlessly meld together and make the dish taste fresh and vibrant. This version of fried rice isn't very heavy on soy sauce, but I promise you won't miss it! Top with sriracha, another squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro for a beautiful dish!
