EASY HAM FRIED RICE



Easy Ham Fried Rice image

This inst your traditional fried rice, but it is a great recipe, using another recipe that is posted on here for soy sauce, Recipe #111373, which I used for low sodium content. That is probably why it doesn't taste like most fried rice, because soy sauce has A LOT of salt in it. This recipe makes a lot!

Categories     Ham

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups cold cooked rice (leftover)
5 tablespoons oil, divided
1 onion, diced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 carrot, shredded
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas
2/3 cup diced ham
4 eggs
1/2 cup soy sauce, Soy Sauce Substitute - Gluten Free

Steps:

  • Put 3 tbs oil in a large pan and heat up.
  • Once heated add in cold rice and let sizzle and brown, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 10 minutes.
  • Once done add in the rest of the oil, onion, garlic, carrot, peas, and ham, mixing it all in together and letting this cook for 5 minutes.
  • Then push rice to the side of pan and drop in the eggs and scramble them, making sure the pieces are small.
  • Once eggs are done, incorporate them into the rest of the fried rice and add in the soy sauce, mixing well.
  • Let cook for another 5 minutes, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice for best results, as it will be less sticky and easier to separate.
  • If you don't have any day-old rice, you can cook fresh rice and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool quickly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the rice, as this will help it to cook evenly.
  • Add the rice to the skillet or wok last, after the other ingredients have been cooked, as this will help to prevent it from sticking.
  • Stir the rice constantly while cooking, as this will help to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Season the rice to taste with soy sauce, salt, and pepper, or other seasonings of your choice.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately, while it is still hot and fluffy.

Ham fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham.
