Steps:
1. Prepare the rice and crab meat
Cook 2 cups of rice in fragrant or long-grain rice, trying to keep the rice grains loose. Gently tear the cooked crab meat into small pieces, taking care to keep the meat intact.
2. Stir-fry the spices and crab meat
Heat the butter in a pan, add the onion and garlic and stir-fry over medium-low heat until the onion is soft and fragrant. Add the crab meat and stir-fry lightly to allow the crab meat to absorb the aroma of butter and spices. Add a small amount of dry white wine to your preference and cook until the alcohol evaporates to add a layer of layer.
3. Make the cream sauce
Pour the whipping cream into the pan and stir gently to allow the cream to blend well with the crab and spices. Add salt and black pepper, add half of the Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens, forming a rich, creamy crab sauce.
4. Combine the rice with the sauce
Pour the cooked rice into the creamy crab sauce and gently toss to evenly coat the creamy sauce. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with cheese
Spread the cheese in a gratin dish and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a taste of mozzarella cheese to create a crispy golden cheese layer.
6. Grill the crab gratin and serve
Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the cheese on the surface is melted and golden brown. In the last few minutes, turn on the oven's Grill function to make the surface crispier.
7. Decoration
Once baked, it cools slightly, sprinkles with chopped parsley and can be enjoyed with a baguette or a refreshing salad to balance out the rich texture of the baked rice.
Cooking skills
🔸 Choice of rice: Jasmine rice or long-grain rice is suitable for baked rice, as the rice grains are looser and less sticky, and can better absorb the sauce.
🔸 Cheese pairing: The combination of Parmesan and mozzarella adds flavor and stringing to the gratin, making it richer on the palate.
🔸 Control of heat: pay attention to observation when baking, avoid burning, and take it out when the surface is golden.
Possible problems and solutions
🔸 Rice is too sticky: Avoid over-stirring. If the cream sauce is too thin, reduce the cream.
🔸 Cheese is too greasy: Reduce the cheese to some extent and add a little lemon juice.
