EASY HAM FRIED RICE



Easy Ham Fried Rice image

This inst your traditional fried rice, but it is a great recipe, using another recipe that is posted on here for soy sauce, Recipe #111373, which I used for low sodium content. That is probably why it doesn't taste like most fried rice, because soy sauce has A LOT of salt in it. This recipe makes a lot!

Categories     Ham

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups cold cooked rice (leftover)
5 tablespoons oil, divided
1 onion, diced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 carrot, shredded
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peas
2/3 cup diced ham
4 eggs
1/2 cup soy sauce, Soy Sauce Substitute - Gluten Free

Steps:

  • Put 3 tbs oil in a large pan and heat up.
  • Once heated add in cold rice and let sizzle and brown, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 10 minutes.
  • Once done add in the rest of the oil, onion, garlic, carrot, peas, and ham, mixing it all in together and letting this cook for 5 minutes.
  • Then push rice to the side of pan and drop in the eggs and scramble them, making sure the pieces are small.
  • Once eggs are done, incorporate them into the rest of the fried rice and add in the soy sauce, mixing well.
  • Let cook for another 5 minutes, and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best fried rice, use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
  • Use a large skillet or wok over high heat. This will help the rice to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the rice to the hot oil and spread it out in a thin layer. Do not stir the rice for the first few minutes, as this will prevent it from getting crispy.
  • Once the rice is crispy on the bottom, stir it and continue to cook until it is heated through.
  • Add your desired vegetables, meat, and sauce to the rice and cook until heated through.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
