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
- 2 cups diced ham
- 2 green onions, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups cold, cooked white rice
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pineapple pieces
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced ham and the white parts of the green onions. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes until the ham is slightly browned, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil until hot. Add the cold, cooked rice and fry, breaking up any clumps, until heated through and slightly crispy, about 8 minutes.
- Push the rice to one side and scramble the eggs on the other side until lightly cooked, then mix them into the rice.
- Stir in the ham and veggie mixture, pour the soy sauce mixture over, and mix until everything is heated through.
- Fold in the pineapple pieces and the green parts of the onions before serving.
