Ham Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 3 cups uncooked Jasmine rice, cooked (preferably the day before)

  • 3 Tablespoons oil

  • 3 eggs, beaten

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 cup diced cooked ham

  • 3/4 cup frozen carrots

  • 1/3 cup frozen peas

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 green onions, sliced thin

Directions

1. Cook rice. If you didn't make it the day before, allow it to cool.

2. Add 4 tablespoons of oil to a wok or a large skillet. Heat on medium for at least 3 minutes. Swirl the oil to cover the pan. Stir in the beaten eggs and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. 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.

4. Add ham, carrots, and peas and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, occasionally mixing. Lower heat and add butter; allow to melt and mix thoroughly. Add green onions and stir gently. Season with salt & pepper.

5. Serve immediately
