# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 cup pineapple chunks
02 -
3 large eggs
03 -
5 cups cold, white rice cooked earlier
04 -
3 cloves garlic, chopped up
05 -
2 green onions, chopped, greens and whites separate
06 -
2 cups ham, diced
07 -
1 red bell pepper, diced and cleaned out
08 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, used in parts
09 -
1 teaspoon your favorite hot sauce
10 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
11 -
4 tablespoons soy sauce, low-salt
# Instructions:
01 -
After shutting off the stove, drop in the pineapple and sprinkle on the green onion tops. Gently toss everything so it mixes. Serve it up when ready.
02 -
Toss your eggs along with the cooked ham-veggie mix straight into the rice. Pour over your set-aside sauce and stir until everything is well coated and good and hot.
03 -
Slide the rice over in the skillet to make room. Crack eggs straight onto that space and keep stirring until the eggs aren’t runny but still nice and soft.
04 -
Splash the last bit of vegetable oil into the skillet, let it heat up, then toss in the cold rice. Break up the clumps and cook for 8 minutes or so, stirring a lot, until the rice is steaming hot.
05 -
Pour in half your veggie oil into a big non-stick pan over medium-high. Drop in the red pepper and cook while stirring for 5–7 minutes so it’s still got some crunch. Next, add in chopped ham and just the white bits of the green onions. Keep stirring until the meat browns a bit. Stir in garlic and let it go for about a minute. Scoop it all into a bowl for now.
06 -
Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot stuff in a small bowl. Just give it a good stir and set it aside until you need it.
# Notes:
01 -
For rice that holds up and stays chewy, use leftovers that have cooled in the fridge. Fresh rice will be mushy and sticky.
