Easy Ham Fried Rice made with leftover rice and thrown together in less than 20 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked, cold leftover rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 Tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup carrot
  • 3/4 cup chopped ham
  • 2 Tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 green onions

Directions

  1. 1

    Leftover cooked and cooled rice works best, and could be made earlier in the day and refrigerated until cold. Use wet fingers to separate the rice grains. 

  2. 2

    Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a wok or frying pan. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add to the pan when the oil is hot. 

  3. 3

    Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until cooked. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add peas, carrots and ham and saute for several minutes. Remove to the bowl with the eggs.

  5. 5

    Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and toss every 30 seconds until it’s lightly browned, about 5 minutes. 

  6. 6

    Add the chicken stock, soy sauce and green onion and toss to combine. Return eggs and veggies to the pan.

  7. 7

    Add more soy sauce, to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.
