Thai Style Crab & Onion, "Bu Pad Hom Yai"

This is a simple stir fry that shows that not all Thai dishes are laden with spices and chili!

Ingredients

1 cup crabmeat (a large crab, broken up, or "loose" crabmeat)
2 eggs
1/2 cup white onion, diced
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup spring onion/green onion, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fish sauce

Method

Whisk the eggs with the fish sauce. Place a wok or skillet over medium low heat, and saute the onion and garlic in a little oil until golden and translucent. Add the crabmeat, and stir fry until nearly cooked through. Drizzle in the eggs, using the spatula in a brisk chopping motion to break up the cooked eggs into filaments, then add the remaining ingedients.

Alternatively cook the eggs to form a thin omelette, and then roll it up and slice it, adding the slices of egg to the cooking crabmeat when nearly cooked.

This is a "one plate" dish, served on its own as a light breakfast or luncheon dish, or with other items a part of a Thai dinner.
