Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start with our star ingredient: shred 1 pack of imitation crab sticks (about 8 sticks) into bite-sized pieces. We’ll use half for the fried rice and the other half for the summer rolls. Prepping like this makes cooking much smoother! ‘ㅅ’//
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for the summer rolls. Julienne the cucumber and the yellow and red bell peppers thinly. Finely mince the green onion for the fried rice. Having your vegetables prepped beforehand will save you time during cooking. ‘ㅅ’//
Step 3
Time to make the fresh and tasty crab summer rolls! Briefly dip a rice paper wrapper in lukewarm water until it becomes pliable. Lay it flat on a cutting board or plate. Layer with a perilla leaf, the julienned bell peppers and cucumber, and the shredded imitation crab. Roll it up tightly. It’s that simple! Your delicious summer rolls are ready! ‘ㅅ’//
Step 4
Next up is the delicious crab fried rice! Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and minced green onion and sauté until fragrant. Sautéing the garlic and green onion first will develop a much deeper flavor.
Step 5
Once the garlic and green onion are lightly golden, add the shredded imitation crab and 1 bowl of instant rice. Stir-fry everything together until the rice is well combined and slightly broken up. Stir-frying helps create fluffy rice. ‘ㅅ’-//
Step 6
Finally, let’s add the seasonings to enhance the crab fried rice flavor. Add a generous tablespoon of oyster sauce and stir-fry until everything is coated. A little freshly ground black pepper adds a lovely aroma and extra flavor. ‘ㅅ’// And just like that, the crab fried rice is complete! Hard to believe, right? You’ll see just how easy it is by watching the video! ㅋ=ㅅ=///
