Ham Fried Rice
INGREDIENTS
3 cups uncooked Jasmine rice, cooked (preferably the day before)
3 Tablespoons avocado oil
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup diced cooked ham
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
2 Tablespoons butter
2 green onions, sliced thin
DIRECTIONS
Cook rice if you didn't make it the day before. As soon as it's done, lay it out on a 9x13 baking dish or a baking sheet. Allow to cool. Mix and spread out several times. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 to 60 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of grape seed oil into a wok or a large skillet, heat on medium for at least 3 minutes. Swirl the oil to cover the pan. Pour in beaten eggs and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes and flip and cook for another minute. Remove from skillet and allow to cool. Cut into strips and then into smaller pieces, set aside.
Add 2 Tablespoons of grape seed oil to the wok and add the rice and cook for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, and mix the rice thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium high and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until rice is completely heated through. Be sure to mix occasionally so the rice does not burn.
Add ham, corn and peas and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, mixing occasionally. Lower heat and add butter, allow to melt, and mix thoroughly. Add eggs and green onions and stir gently. Season with salt & pepper. Serve immediately.
