Equipment
- Wok or Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, cold leftover rice
- 2 large eggs
- 4 Tablespoons sesame oil or peanut oil
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup carrot peeled and diced
- 3/4 cup chopped ham
- 2 Tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or more, to taste
- 3 green onions chopped
Instructions
- Leftover cooked and cooled rice works best, and could be made earlier in the day and refrigerated until cold. Use wet fingers to separate the rice grains.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a wok or frying pan. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add to the pan when the oil is hot. Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until cooked. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add peas, carrots and ham and saute for several minutes. Remove to the bowl with the eggs.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and toss every 30 seconds until it's lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, soy sauce and green onion and toss to combine. Return eggs and veggies to the pan.
- Add more soy sauce, to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.
