Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup plant-based ham
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 3 stalks, sliced green onions
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or avocado oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for color)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the plant-based ham by chopping it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Place the plant-based ham pieces in the center and sauté for 2 minutes until lightly browned.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spoon or spatula. Stir everything thoroughly to combine the rice, vegetables, and plant-based ham.
Drizzle the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sprinkle the ground turmeric (if using) evenly over the rice mixture. Add the black pepper and stir well to ensure the rice is coated with the seasoning.
Cook the mixture for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and slightly crisp at the edges.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more soy sauce or salt if needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Vegan Vegetable and Ham Fried Rice!
