Fried rice is a popular street food item in East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisines. And its popularity is not just in its flavor but in its resourcefulness. A traditional recipe calls for day-old rice and chopped leftovers. But if executed correctly results in beautiful alchemy of flavors, textures, and temperature. This is what I had in my kitchen today. And this is what I made, Sa Te Fried Rice with Japanese Snow Crab.
