Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
• 1 cup Ham, diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
• 2 Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients by dicing the ham, chopping the green onions, and setting out the frozen peas and carrots to thaw slightly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and scramble them until just set, then remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and diced ham, stirring for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the ham begins to brown slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the peas and carrots mix, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Step 7

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula, and stir everything together thoroughly.

Step 8

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture and stir to combine evenly.

Step 9

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and stir them into the rice evenly, ensuring the eggs are distributed throughout.

Step 10

Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
