Step 1
Warm the cooked rice in a microwave or small pan, then divide between two plates and set aside.
Step 2
Whisk the eggs in a bowl with fish sauce, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until pale and frothy.
Step 3
Gently fold the crab meat and cilantro into the egg mixture, trying not to break up the crab pieces.
Step 4
Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 5
Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Step 6
Gently push the cooked edges toward center, tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows to the edges, cook 1 more minute.
Step 7
Slide the omelette onto a cutting board, fold in half, then transfer to a plate over the warm rice.
Step 8
Arrange cucumber slices alongside the omelette and drizzle everything with lime juice.
