Method

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over a high heat, then tip in the rice and broccoli. Cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing regularly, until the rice is turning golden and crisp. Add the carrot, garlic and spring onions, and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Pour in the soy and oyster sauce, toss well and cook for a few minutes. Make a well in the middle of the wok then break in the eggs. Allow the bottom to set then stir and cook, breaking up into chunky pieces with a spoon. Add the crab meat, gently fold in and cook gently for a few minutes to warm through.
Step 2

Mix everything together for the prik nam pla in a small bowl. Add the thai basil to the rice and gently stir, then serve with the prik nam pla to drizzle over.
