  • The diced ham can be leftover ham from a holiday meal, or thick-sliced ham purchased from the deli counter at the grocery store.
  • Cooked white rice – if you don’t already have cooked leftover rice, be sure to cook the rice before starting this recipe. Follow the link provided for instructions on how to cook the rice on the stovetop, in an Instant Pot, or in a rice cooker. 
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, replace the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
