Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced ham and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Stir in the frozen peas and carrots mix, and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Increase the heat to high, and add the cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with a spatula, and stir well to combine.
Drizzle the sesame oil and soy sauce evenly over the rice, and mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Add the cooked scrambled eggs back into the skillet, along with chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and slightly crispy on the bottom.
Remove from heat, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
