→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1½ to 2 cups ham, chopped
02 -
1 small white onion, chopped
03 -
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
04 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
05 -
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
06 -
3 cups cooked rice
07 -
1 cup pineapple tidbits
08 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
09 -
2–3 tablespoons soy sauce, to taste
10 -
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil, then sauté the chopped ham, onion, and bell pepper until tender.
02 -
Push the ham and vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Then mix everything together.
03 -
Stir in the cooked rice and pineapple tidbits. Mix well to combine with the ham, veggies, and eggs.
04 -
Drizzle sesame oil and soy sauce over the mixture. Stir-fry until the rice is hot and everything is evenly coated. Add chopped green onions if desired and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Use day-old rice for best results—it fries better and prevents sogginess.
02 -
Customize with peas, carrots, or even leftover chicken.
03 -
Taste before adding more soy sauce—some hams are already salty.
