1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cream
100 g freshly picked spanner crab meat

1. Heat a wok or fry pan over a high heat and add in 1 tsp of oil. Fry the broccoli slices until tender and golden, remove and set aside.
2. Add in a little more oil and add the cooked rice. Fry the rice until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove from the pan.
3. In a bowl combine the eggs, cream, oyster sauce and soy sauce and season with pepper.
