Ham Fried Rice

So Easter is coming up...okay in like 2 months, but I know many of you are going to have ham leftover, so this is me thinking ahead & planning some meals with your leftovers.  I was so happy with how this dish turned out!  Since I am a cheater & use Minute Rice, it's so fast.  Like 30 minutes start to finish.  We gobbled it up!  Plus, what's not to love about a one pot meal?  Enjoy!

 

Ham Fried Rice

Recipe by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil, divided
• 2 eggs, whisked
• Salt & Pepper
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8oz diced ham (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
• 3 cups cooked rice (white or brown, I used brown minute rice)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed under warm water

1. In a wok or large skillet, heat 1/2 Tbsp oil, add whisked eggs & season with salt & pepper.  Scramble eggs until cooked.  Remove eggs from pan & set aside.
2. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in the same pan.  Add onion & garlic.  Saute for 5 minutes.  Add ham & heat until it starts to brown & crisp up.  (Keep the heat medium-high.)  Once ham is browning, add the cooked rice & fry it until it starts to brown.  
3. Add soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, & brown sugar.  Stir.  Add thawed peas & reserved scrambled eggs.  Heat thoroughly & serve immediately.  

*Serves 6.
