→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 cup pineapple chunks
02 -
3 large eggs
03 -
5 cups chilled cooked white rice
04 -
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
05 -
2 green onions, chopped, greens and whites separated
06 -
2 cups chopped ham
07 -
1 red bell pepper, seeds and core out, diced
08 -
1 tablespoon veggie oil, split
09 -
1 teaspoon spicy sauce
10 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
11 -
4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
# Steps:
01 -
Stir soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Set it to the side while you cook.
02 -
Once the stove’s off, gently toss in pineapple bits and green tops of the onions. Give everything a careful mix before serving up.
03 -
Fold the eggs and the ham-veggie mix back into the rice. Bring in the bowl of sauce and stir everything until it's all mixed up and hot.
04 -
Scoot the rice over to one side of the pan. Drop the eggs on the empty side and quickly scramble until just cooked through.
05 -
Pour the rest of the veggie oil into the hot skillet and let it get shiny. Add your cold rice, breaking up clumps. Keep it moving for about 8 minutes so it heats through.
06 -
Heat a big skillet with half the veggie oil on medium-high. Toss in diced bell pepper, stirring about 5 to 7 minutes 'til just tender. Stir in ham and white parts of the onions till ham starts browning. Add garlic, stir a minute, then move it all to a bowl for now.
# Notes:
01 -
Chilled, leftover rice works way better here—hot rice will just go mushy and sticky.
