Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 cups cubed cooked ham
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
3 cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

In large wok, heat oil over medium high heat.

Add ham, garlic powder and pepper; stir fry 3 to 4 minutes.
Add rice and soy sauce; stir fry 3-4 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Serve with additional soy sauce, if desired.

Tips:

Choose the right ham: For this recipe, it's best to use a fully cooked ham. You can use a whole ham, a half ham, or even ham slices.
Cut the ham into small pieces: This will help the ham cook evenly and quickly.
Use a large skillet: This will give the ham and vegetables plenty of room to cook.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the ham and vegetables will steam instead of fry.
Cook the ham and vegetables over medium heat: This will help prevent the ham from drying out.
Stir the ham and vegetables frequently: This will help prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
Add the eggs last: This will help prevent them from overcooking.
Season the stir-fry to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings you like.

Conclusion:

Ham stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham.
