HAM FRIED RICE WITH EGGS



Ham Fried Rice with Eggs image

This family-friendly dinner comes together quickly on a busy weeknight, all in one skillet. As the eggs cook atop the rice, the rice forms an irresistible crispy layer on the bottom. Starting with purchased matchstick-cut carrots cuts down on prep work, and the slender pieces cook much more quickly than chopped carrots.

HAM AND EGG FRIED RICE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 1/2 to 4 tablespoons corn or peanut oil
3 1/2 cups cold cooked rice
2 to 3 ounces honey or sugar-cured ham (yielding 1/2 cup cubed ham)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas or baby lima beans
1 to 1 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
3 tablespoons green and white scallions Peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or a small, heavy skillet over high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, swirl to coat the pan. Add eggs and scramble them. As soon as there is no more freely running egg, turn them out into a bowl and break them into small bits. They should be soft and a bit runny -- not brown.
  • Heat the wok or a large skillet and add 2 tablespoon oil to coat. Add the rice and toss briskly to coat and separate each grain, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ham and peas. Toss to mix in the ingredients and allow the mixture to heat through, about 30 seconds. Return the eggs to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt, scallions and peanuts, tossing another 5 to 10 seconds to let the eggs get hot.

EGG & SCALLION FRIED RICE



Egg & Scallion Fried Rice image

Mad craving that came out insanely tasty. Ingredients are approximate because I didn't measure much which is why most things say 'to taste,' lol. I didn't include cooking or cooling time for the rice. Cooking time will depend on your method of cooking & cooling will depend as well. I set mine in my cool basement for 1/2 hour or so. I say 8-10 servings because my family of 4 each had 2nds. But each serving was probably 1c or more. ;)

Categories     White Rice

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups white rice
3 cups water
4 tablespoons oil, divided
1 small onion, chopped
8 eggs, beaten
2 -4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided, to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
sesame seeds, to taste
2 bunches scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, to taste
salt

Steps:

  • Cook rice. I used a rice steamer. If you use a different method, the ratio may be different. When rice is cooked, spread it out on a large baking sheet & let cool completely.
  • Prep everything.
  • Chop onions & scallions.
  • Beat eggs, add 1TB soy sauce & pepper.
  • Heat wok until it is HOT. Add 1TB oil - vegetable/canola/sesame(NOT toasted!) & swirl to coat sides. Add egg mixture, swirl to coat sides. Scrape pan to cook it all quickly, scraping as you go. This will take 2-3 minutes. When all get is cooked, not just set, scrape into a bowl & set aside.
  • Add 2TB oil to hot wok. Add chopped onions. Cook until browned & softened, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add cooled rice. Every few minutes, scrape up from the bottom, so that the rice on the bottom & sides get a bit crispy. When it starts looking crispy, not burned, add soy sauce along top rim of rice & stir fry/stir up well. Keep turning up from bottom as you go along. I added another TB or so oil along the top rim of rice -- it goes down the sides coating the rice & helps to crisp it up. This will take 5 minutes or more. Take the time to let it cook & get a bit crispy.
  • Sprinkle on enough sesame seeds to make you happy & stir that in, continuing to stir up from the bottom.
  • Add 1TB (or more) toasted sesame oil to the top rim of the rice & continue to stir it from the bottom.
  • Chop up scrambled egg w/spoon & add to rice. Continue to stir from the bottom.
  • Add chopped scallions & continue to stir --.
  • Season with salt to taste, stirring well between each addition to check seasoning.
  • Add more soy sauce and/or sesame oil if it suits you. :).

FRIED RICE WITH HAM, EGG, AND SCALLIONS



Fried Rice with Ham, Egg, and Scallions image

Provided by Grace Young

Categories     Egg     Pork     Rice     Side     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped scallions
4 cups cold cooked rice
3/4 cup frozen peas
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup diced smoked ham
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil, add the garlic and scallions, and stir-fry 10 seconds. Add the rice and the peas and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up the rice with a metal spatula.
  • 2. Make a well in the rice, exposing the bottom of the wok. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the egg. Immediately stir-fry to incorporate the egg throughout the rice, 1 to 2 minutes or until the egg is almost cooked through. Add the ham, salt, and pepper and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

Tips:

- Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky. - Cut your ham and vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. - If you don't have cooked ham, you can substitute with bacon or sausage. - Use a wok or large skillet so that you have plenty of room to stir-fry the rice. - Keep the heat high and stir-fry the rice constantly so that it doesn't burn. - Add the eggs to the rice mixture one at a time, stirring constantly so that they scramble and cook evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan or the rice will steam instead of fry. - Add the scallions and soy sauce at the end of cooking for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Fried rice with ham, egg, and scallions is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this dish is a classic for a reason. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
