Tips:

Choose the right ham: Look for a fully cooked ham that is about 3 pounds. A bone-in ham will add more flavor, but a boneless ham is easier to carve.
Cut the ham into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
Use a large skillet: This will give the ham plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
Cook the ham over medium heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
Stir the ham frequently: This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Add your favorite vegetables: Stir in some chopped onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms for a more flavorful dish.
Season the ham to taste: Add salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to taste.
Serve the ham immediately: This dish is best served hot, over rice or noodles.
