HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Ham and Peppers Stir Fry With Sweet and Sour Sauce image

We call this "Ham and Peppers" but there's onion and pineapple too. This is a great quick meal and an excellent use for leftover ham. The recipe was originally from a Doubleday Cookbook but has evolved during the past 12 years to suit our taste--we like the ham and onions slightly browned and the peppers crisp/tender. Serve over steamed rice and add soy sauce to taste. Note that this dish is best just after it's thickened and it doesn't reheat that well, but there's rarely any leftovers.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups diced cooked ham
2 tablespoons butter (Divided in thirds)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks (don't drain) or 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (don't drain)
1 medium onion, peeled cut in half and quartered
1 medium bell pepper, cored seeded, and cut in 1/2 inch strips (your favorite color)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (or 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 tsp. molasses)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
  • When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
  • Remove and set the ham aside.
  • Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
  • When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
  • When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
  • Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
  • Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
  • Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
  • Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!

HAM WITH MIXED FRUIT



Ham with Mixed Fruit image

Apple pie filling and fruit cocktail are combined with a little brown sugar to create a sweet chunky sauce that nicely complements ham steaks. "I make this often for birthdays, and it's delicious," she assures. "It can be reheated, but I never have leftovers. "For easy cleanup, I sometimes place the ham on a large piece of heavy-duty foil, put the fruit mixture on top, then pull up the corners of the foil and twist them to form a bundle," she explains. "I pop it in the oven to bake, and when it's done, there's no pan to wash."

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. A good quality ham will make all the difference in your stir-fry. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and has a mild flavor. You can use either sliced ham or diced ham for this recipe.
  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your stir-fry a bright and vibrant flavor. Some good choices for fruit in a ham and fruit stir-fry include pineapple, mango, peaches, and apples.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking your stir-fry, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to get a good sear on the ham.
  • Cook the ham first. The ham is the most substantial ingredient in this stir-fry, so it's important to cook it first. This will ensure that it is cooked through and that it has a chance to develop some flavor before the other ingredients are added.
  • Add the fruit and vegetables last. The fruit and vegetables in this stir-fry cook quickly, so they should be added last. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve immediately. Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Ham and fruit stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. This recipe is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your own liking. For example, you can add different types of fruit, vegetables, and nuts, or you can adjust the amount of sauce to make it more or less spicy.
