About this dish
A restaurant-standard Thai fried rice kept deliberately simple, so the sweetness of the crab meat folded through at the very end is what actually comes through.

Add the rice, fish sauce, light soy sauce and white pepper, and stir-fry for 4 minutes until every grain is coated and heated through.
Add the crab meat and toss gently for 2 minutes to warm through without breaking it up.
Stir in the spring onions and toss for 1 minute.
