Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons sesame oil, ⅓ cup chopped onion, and 1 cup shredded carrots. Cook until tender.
Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the 3 cups cooked rice to the veggie mixture. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until warmed through and combined. Cook longer if you like crispy and golden rice.
Create a hole in the middle of the rice and veggie mixture and pour 2 eggs, slightly beaten into the middle. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs as they cook. Once cooked, mix the eggs into the rice mixture.
Add the drained 1 (6-ounce) can lump crab, to the wok and stir to combine. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce, and the juice of 1 lime, into the fried rice. Toss to combine, then season with ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons green onionsand enjoy!
