Start by cooking jasmine rice with a little less water to make it drier for fried rice.

Spread the cooked rice out to let the steam escape and help separate the grains.

Prepare a condiment called priknam pla with chilies, chopped garlic, fish sauce, and lime juice; let it infuse for better flavor.

Heat a wok over medium-low heat and add vegetable oil.

Add minced garlic to the oil immediately to infuse the flavor without burning.

Once the garlic starts to turn golden, add eggs and scramble gently, allowing some marbling.

Add the cooked rice to the wok and mix in the seasoning: soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and white pepper.

Toast the rice by letting it sit in the wok without stirring too often, allowing it to brown slightly.

Add crab meat gently to the rice and mix to heat through without breaking it up.

Add chopped green onions and cilantro, then give everything a final toss before serving.
