Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add crab meat and stir gently to coat evenly with curry. Cook 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in coconut milk and fish sauce. Stir and simmer 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over the crab curry and taste for salt. While it rests, fry eggs sunny-side up in a separate skillet until whites set but yolks jiggle.
Step 6
Divide rice between two plates, top with crab curry, and place a fried egg alongside. Serve with pickled jalapeños and kimchi on the side.
