HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Ham and Peppers Stir Fry With Sweet and Sour Sauce image

We call this "Ham and Peppers" but there's onion and pineapple too. This is a great quick meal and an excellent use for leftover ham. The recipe was originally from a Doubleday Cookbook but has evolved during the past 12 years to suit our taste--we like the ham and onions slightly browned and the peppers crisp/tender. Serve over steamed rice and add soy sauce to taste. Note that this dish is best just after it's thickened and it doesn't reheat that well, but there's rarely any leftovers.

Ingredients

2 cups diced cooked ham
2 tablespoons butter (Divided in thirds)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks (don't drain) or 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (don't drain)
1 medium onion, peeled cut in half and quartered
1 medium bell pepper, cored seeded, and cut in 1/2 inch strips (your favorite color)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (or 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 tsp. molasses)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
Remove and set the ham aside.
Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!

Tips:

Choose the right ham: Use a fully cooked ham for convenience, or cook a fresh ham according to package instructions before using it in the stir-fry.
Prepare your ingredients: Cut the ham and fruit into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easier eating.
Use a hot wok or pan: This will help to sear the ham and vegetables quickly, creating a nice caramelization.
Stir-fry in batches: If you're using a lot of ingredients, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the food.
Season to taste: The amount of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
