After working in both Western and Thai professional kitchens, she decided that her passion really lies in educating and empowering others to cook at home via KZbin videos, her cookbook, and cooking classes.

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this video! If you've made the recipe and enjoy it, please *go on the website (linked above) and RATE AND REVIEW this recipe!* It will really help us out. Thank you so much in advance :) Make sure you read the full written recipe before making, and if you have other questions not covered in the written post or in the video, you can post it here for the community to answer. But if you want to ask me, please post your question on my Facebook page, Tweet me, or reach out via my website (all linked above). If you leave questions in the KZbin comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments across the channel. As I mentioned last time, my brother Art is now editing the videos and those on-screen comments are all his. Hope you enjoy them and thank you for watching!

In southern Thai Saturn area, they add a little bit of butter or probably margerine for crab fried rice. Its taste so good.

[@jovanjohami]

Thank your for the great recipe. Have been always looking how to make Thai Crab fried rice. You so cute Pailin!

[@olekluften9776]

Like your vids. Wonder if you can teach how to make curry red green and yellow the thai way.

[@genie8961]

@@andrewsocial9309 May be for you, not for me and people of Saturn Thailand. We love it, Crab Fried Rice with little bit of butter or margerine. Tastes so yummy.

@@andrewsocial9309 What u believed is not necessarily what they used in their food in this part of the world.

This should be on the BBC.

Can someone call them for me?

Haiyaa

[@lofiben]

My parents own a Thai restaurant and for some reason, this is the most popular version of fried rice.

[@chajang7292]

Luckyyy

[@wittymum]

You are seriously good at explaining the techniques in how to achieve a proper dish - as 'simple' as a fried rice. You make it to the next level ! Thank you for teaching the world how to cook better lol. Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and successful year to come !

[@kyrios0307]

Really like your tip on how the rice has to be toasted / fried instead of just mixed. A good fried rice has that 'charred' aroma and flavor to it.

[@windbreaker57]

I've always loved watching & learning from your videos, as much for the simple ways of doing Thai cooking, as for the variety. The greatest reward, however, has invariably been the joy of watching how endearingly animated you are, which makes your videos so engaging. But this one gave me more chuckles than I usually get. Love it!

[@suchartboontid2560]

This is my mom's favorite dish. She always brings back crab meat whenever she goes to seaside towns so she can make this at home.

[@teckjuontan4167]

Hi Pailin ! Whenever I wish to learn to cook any Thai dishes, I will always watch your videos for authenticity . Really appreciate your generosity and novelty in sharing the classical and newer versions of Thai culinary arts.

[@Nocturne22]

I wonder how much fun Art must be having teasing his sister with those little captions.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Too much 😂

[@vthao838]

You make all your videos so enjoyable and so descriptive to watch! Best part is that we're learning at the same time!!

[@SarahLizDoan]

This looks so easy and absolutely delicious!! YUMMY! Thank you Pailin!!! You’re fantastic!

[@kevinwilford1971]

perfect timing when im in a fried rice cooking craze! putting this in my recipe lists😆

[@MatthiasBouillon]

Had fried rice too this evening 😋😂

[@ThydaCookingTV]

I love the way you prepare neat and clean

[@KonaoPuddingnila]

Thank you for making all of these videos! Since I came to the US to study with no cooking skill, I've learn a lot from your channel because it's really easy to follow. Please keep up good work!

[@mahlina1220]

I STILL remember your very first episode, before the kitchen remodel and studio lights. I remember your video as being a casual one, but tribute to your grandmama. ❤️

[@deonjoseph8176]

Thank you, I cooked this and it was so yummy. All your tips made all the difference.

[@opwave79]

Adding fish sauce really elevates the flavor. I started using it in all my fried rice and stir fry dishes. Also totally agree about getting the rice a bit crispy! It’s not fried rice to me if there’s no bits of crispy rice.

[@gbrown9694]

One of my favourite Thai dishes 👍🏾

[@joesitt1]

You are so funny when you are trying to toss the rice in the pan at the end of the cooking. I love it.

[@Pau-mg8ct]

Simple, Beautiful & Appetizing.. I absolutely love the process you make recepies so simple that absolutely anyone can make it.. Thanx Pai!! Thanx Pai..

[@HowToCuisine]

Crab rice is probably my favorite Thai dish 🤯🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for the recipe ❤️🙏

[@ThydaCookingLifestyle]

Sawadee kha! Enjoy watching from Cambodia

[@omgwth7567]

Crab + Rice were a match made in heaven! 💞🤗

[@ahza911]

And there you go my Westerner friends, how to eat rice with utensils. You use spoon to scoop the rice, and not fork. Thank you very nice. Btw Pai, love your video as always. I have just grown few bushes of Holy Basil so I can use them for my Thai cooking. 😁

[@faustinasarawak9149]

Because fork are made for poking into the meat while the other hands are slicing at the same time, and fork are also used for eating noodles, spaghetti 🍝, isn't it?? 😅 😅 😁😁😁, sorry for my poor English.

[@Ricecooka]

I love crab fried rice from our local Thai/Asian "fusion" restaurant. So I will definitely be making my own next week (after picking up a couple things from the Asian market)

[@jackt8295]

I like Pai. She’s like someone i wanna hang out with and eat a lot lol

[@PL-du8gq]

So simple, yet so perfect.

[@MLLL1234]

I am loving all the little pop up edits...love the recipe too!!!

[@JustJimWillDo]

Love the little pop-up commentary pieces that Art has added during editing. There is going to be pressure to keep them up for longer, please don't change that timing. It's wonderful the way it is.

[@joaquinchea2620]

Looks delicious 😋 thanks for sharing!

[@oliverjackson9008]

Thank you chef watching from jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@T0mtoma]

I’m glad I clicked on this video since i had some shredded crab in my fridge,what a life saver :))

[@peterdoe2617]

Sure gonna make this! Your explanations about little details are pretty outstanding! I stay away from the canned crab meat, as well. In some asian grocery stores around here (Hamburg, Germany area) you can get frozen crabmeat (like I can, here in Pinneberg): a much better quality! While fresh crabmeat isn't easy to find. A local crab here would be "Knieper". You can ask your fish monger for it. Greetings from the far north of Germany!

[@trellofello7473]

I love watching your videos because you are a ray of sunshine ☀️

[@kawaiidayo123]

Omg can’t wait to try this! This just reminded me of my fave crab fried rice resto in Bangkok called Here Hai. Can’t wait to travel again just to eat that! For now, thanks Pai for sharing ur crab fried rice recipe! Gonna cook it tomorrow 🤤

Finally, waiting for this recipe... Thanks, Pailin

You know your fried rice is fantastic when you see grains of rice dance on the bottom of the wok.

Hi there! I’ve used this recipe and your mackerel red curry one (but with barbecued octopus instead) to create a lovely meal today. Thanks for your smile and your work!

Hi Pailin! I just wanted to say I love your videos (been subscribed for.... years?) but I'm teaching writing composition through a food justice lens at the university level now and I use you videos all the time when students ask for authentic thai cuisine. I spent a summer in Chiang Mai (and ate khao soi gai everyday lol!) so I often talk about the diversity and deliciousness of real thai cooking. just wanted to tell you that you're awesome!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you so much!!

Pai, it is always a happy dose of sunshine to watch your cooking videos. Needless to say, good content is extremely important, but so is delivery style. Bravissima, you excel at both 👍👏! I propose a "gilded-lily" version of this dish called *Pacific Northwest crab fried rice* consisting of LUMP *Dungeness crab* _(using any other kind would be sacrilegious)_ and *Alaskan king crab* meat.
