  • Place egg, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a cold, nonstick skillet. Place over medium-low heat and stir with a silicone spatula. Continue stirring until egg starts to set, then becomes a soft scramble with just a little bit of liquid left. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a wok over high heat. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper; saute for 2 minutes. Add white parts of green onions plus garlic; saute until mushrooms are browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 4 tablespoons butter plus soy sauce to the wok. Break up the leftover rice and add; stir-fry until rice is warmed through and evenly coated with the sauce, about 3 minutes. Add scrambled egg and green parts of the green onions; toss to mix everything. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Divide onto serving plates.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter over low heat in a saucepan. Add crabmeat and toss gently, avoiding breaking up the lumps, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Spoon crabmeat onto each plate and garnish with chives.
