Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup Ham, diced
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by dicing the ham, carrot, and green onions, and draining the pineapple chunks if using canned pineapple.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble them until just set. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the ham and frozen peas, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Stir well to break up any clumps of rice and combine it with the other ingredients.
Drizzle the soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Stir continuously to evenly coat the rice in the sauces.
Add the pineapple chunks and scrambled eggs back to the skillet. Gently fold them into the rice mixture.
Sprinkle in salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are heated through.
Remove from heat and serve your Pineapple Fried Rice with Ham immediately. Enjoy!
