A delightful, tropical twist on traditional fried rice, featuring ham and pineapple for a deliciously unique flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 Tablespoon sesame seed oil
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced (ribs and seeds removed)
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 green onions, diced (divide the white and green parts)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 cups cold, cooked white rice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup pineapple pieces

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sesame oil and hot sauce. Set aside.
  2. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 1/2 Tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  3. Add the diced ham and the chopped white parts of the green onions. Cook and stir until the ham is slightly browned.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Pour this mixture into a bowl and set aside.
  5. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same skillet until hot. Add the cold rice and cook, stirring and breaking up the clumps, until thoroughly heated (about 8 minutes).
  6. Push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs onto the other side and stir until lightly scrambled and set.
  7. Stir the scrambled eggs and the ham mixture into the rice.
  8. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the rice and cook, stirring until combined and hot.
  9. Turn off the heat, stir in the pineapple and the green parts of the onions. Serve!
