Pineapple Ham Rice (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Sauce
01 -
1 teaspoon hot sauce
02 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
03 -
4 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
→ Main Ingredients
04 -
1 cup pineapple chunks
05 -
3 large eggs
06 -
5 cups leftover white rice, chilled
07 -
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
08 -
2 green onions, divide the greens and whites, slice both
09 -
2 cups diced ham pieces
10 -
1 red bell pepper, remove seeds and ribs, chop small
11 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, use in two parts
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Mix the scrambled eggs and ham mix into your rice. Add the sauce and stir it all together while it heats up. Take it off the stove, then toss in your pineapple and green onion tops.
02 -
Shove your rice over to one side of the pan. Break the eggs into the empty space and gently stir them until they just set up.
03 -
Pour in the rest of the oil. Toss in your cold rice. Break up chunks and let it all heat up, mixing until everything is hot—plan on about 8 minutes.
04 -
Put half your oil in a big non-stick pan on medium-high. Drop in bell pepper and let it cook for around 5–7 minutes till somewhat soft. Add ham and onion whites, stirring till the ham browns a bit. Chuck in the minced garlic for about a minute. Move all that to a bowl and keep it ready.
05 -
Grab a small bowl for the hot sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Stir them all up and set aside.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
It's best to use rice made the day before—cold grains won't get mushy when you stir-fry.
