Add the remaining 3 tbsp of oil to the frying pan.  Add the rice and stir until all rice is coated with oil. 

Expose the center of the frying pan by pushing the rice to the sides.  Crack the eggs into the center of the pan.  Stir until all rice is coated with egg.  Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.

Note: using leftover white rice (from at least the day before) makes better fried rice then using freshly boiled rice.

Ingredients:

Cooked White Rice
Crab Meat (imitation or real)
Cucumber, cut into long thin slices
Mashed Avocado
Nori (seaweed wrap, found in the ethnic isle)

Step 1:

Spread the rice on the nori.  Leave one end of the nori (1 inch strip) uncovered.  The layer of rice should be thin, so the nori shows through.  Put the avocado, cucumber and crab on the nori as illustrated on the picture below:

Step 2:

Moisten the uncovered strip of the nori with some water (just use your finger dipped in the water).  Roll into a tight roll.  Start rolling from the side that contains the filling (the opposite side to the uncovered strip).   The moistuned uncovered strip should act as a “tape” that holds the roll together.  Put the roll on the plate so the seam is on the bottom of the roll.

Step 3:

Cut the big roll into pieces.

Enjoy with some wasabi and ginger! :)
