Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (sesame oil can also be used)
- 1 small onion or green onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1-2 cups ham diced
- 1 cup carrots and peas diced, frozen works great
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups long-grain white rice cooked (leftover rice works best)
- soy sauce to taste
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil (or sesame oil) in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions to the hot oil and stir until clear and light brown. Stir in garlic.
- When garlic is lightly browned, add ham and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add carrots and peas and cook until they are tender.
- Beat eggs together in a small bowl and add eggs to the skillet. Cook until eggs are scrambled and firm.
- Add cooked rice to skillet and mix in thoroughly. Stir in soy sauce, a little at a time. (you can always add more so don't overdo it).
Notes
- Make a big batch of this rice because it stays nice and fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week! You can freeze leftovers too; just use freezer safe bags or containers and push as much air out as possible.
- For a "dry" fried rice, steam the white rice a day ahead. After cooking rice, let it cool to room temperature. Place the rice in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge overnight. Add refrigerated rice to the skillet as described in the instructions above.
- If you're not crazy about ham, this fried rice tastes delicious with shredded or cubed pork, chicken or even shrimp. Or omit the meat altogether for a vegetarian dish.
- Make a big batch of this rice because it stays nice and fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week! You can freeze leftovers too; just use freezer safe bags or containers and push as much air out as possible.
