→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
02 -
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
03 -
1 teaspoon hot sauce
04 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
05 -
1 red bell pepper, diced, ribs and seeds removed
06 -
2 cups diced ham
07 -
2 green onions, diced, whites and greens separated
08 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
09 -
5 cups cold, cooked white rice
10 -
3 large eggs
11 -
1 cup pineapple pieces
# Steps:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and hot sauce. Set the mixture aside.
02 -
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring until crisp-tender. Add the diced ham and the white parts of the green onions; cook and stir until the ham is lightly browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
03 -
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add the cold, cooked white rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir frequently and cook for approximately 8 minutes, or until the rice is thoroughly heated.
04 -
Push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs onto the cleared side and stir constantly until they are lightly scrambled and just set.
05 -
Mix the scrambled eggs and reserved ham mixture into the rice. Pour in the prepared soy sauce mixture and stir to coat evenly. Continue cooking until all the components are heated through.
06 -
Turn off the heat. Gently fold in the pineapple pieces and the green parts of the onions. Toss lightly to distribute evenly before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best texture, use cooked rice that has been chilled beforehand; freshly cooked rice tends to result in a softer, less distinct grain.
