Prepare the Crab
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and jumbo lump crab, gently tossing as it warms. Take care not to break apart the crab meat. Once the butter has melted and coated the crab, remove from the heat and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. Season the beaten eggs with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and add them to the hot pan. Scramble until just cooked through, then remove from the heat and set aside.
Fry the Rice
Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the cooked rice and toss, breaking up any clumps as it reheats.
Add the sesame oil and soy sauce, stirring to evenly coat the rice. Add the carrots, peas, eggs, and scallions, then toss until everything is thoroughly combined and heated through.
