Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 cup ham diced, leftover
- 1/2 cup pineapple , diced
- 1/2 bell pepper , diced (yields about 1/2 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 cups rice overnight long grain rice, cooked
- 3 egg beaten
- salt , to taste
Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce and pineapple juice together in a small bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large nonstick pan and heat it over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ham and pineapples. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers. Stir a few times to mix well, then transfer everything to a plate and set aside.
- Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil and the garlic into the skillet. Stir a few times to release the fragrance. Add the rice and spread it out with your spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is lightly toasted.
- Move the rice to one side of the pan and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the other side of the skillet. Add the beaten eggs onto the oil. Let it cook until the bottom sets, 30 seconds. Scramble a few times until most of the eggs are cooked but some parts are still runny. Mix the rice into the egg, chopping and stirring to mix everything together.
- Move the rice to the edge of the pan to make a well in the center. Pour the soy sauce and pineapple juice into the center. Let it cook for a few seconds to evaporate the liquid. Stir everything together until the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the moisture is cooked off.
- Add the cooked ham mixture back into the pan. Stir everything together. Taste the rice. Add a pinch of salt and mix again, if needed.
- Serve hot as a main dish.
