5 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rice, cold, pre-cooked
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil, I use peanut, doesn't burn at high heat
  • 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup ham steak, diced
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 green onion, for garnish
  • 1 -2 egg, to taste
  • 1 -2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    To prepare cooked rice, wet your fingers and break it up in the bowl. Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium to high heat. Add some cooking oil in the bottom. Add the egg and fry until easy, soft,cook. Remove from pan and set aside. I usually will cook a very small omelette, and chop it up right before I add it at the end.
  2. 2
    Add a touch more oil. Add onion and peppers and fry until tender.
  3. 3
    Remove onions and peppers to a separate bowl or push to the side, add diced ham and stir fry for about 30 seconds.
  4. 4
    Add oil, add rice and stir fry making sure to constantly chop and move rice around so the grains separate, lumps are what we are fighting people ;-) 'Bout 3-5 minutes depending on the heat.
  5. 5
    When rice is almost done, add the ham, peppers and onion and give it a toss/stir, chop up the egg and add that too. To season remove from heat to avoid overcooking. Add the salt, pepper, sugar and lastly a healthy splash of light soy sauce and a drop of Sesame oil (use a very light hand, too much Sesame oil ruins dishes), Cook for an additional 40 seconds and it's eatin' time!
