Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop out onto a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the ham and shiitakes and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper, sweet chili sauce, ginger, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the pepper are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the chili oil, sprinkle with the scallions and serve.

SWEET BELL PEPPER RICE
Normally a pepper and rice dish has a Mexican or Spanish kind of flair to it. I wanted something a little more Italian, and this is what I came up with.

Season with salt, scallions and peanuts, tossing another 5 to 10 seconds to let the eggs get hot.

HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
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.

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:
- To save time, use pre-cooked rice or microwaveable rice packets.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of rice, such as brown rice or wild rice.
- If you don't have ham, you can substitute cooked chicken or sausage.
- Add other vegetables to the dish, such as chopped onions, carrots, or celery.
- Serve the rice with a side of fresh fruit or a green salad.

This simple yet flavorful rice dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and ham.
