Ham and Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients:
6 cups cooked rice (use only after it has cooled)
2 cups cubed ham
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Chopped green onion (about 5)
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:
1. Scramble eggs and in a large pan (medium heat) add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When oil is warm add the eggs to the pan. After the bottom has begun to cook and solidify (but leave runny) scrape with a spatula into a bowl and set aside.

 

 

2. In the same large pan add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and then add cubed ham. When ham is hot remove to the egg bowl and set aside.

3. In the same large pan in low heat add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add cooked rice and stir it carefully. Add salt, soy sauce and pepper to the rice stir and toss with the spoon.

 

 

Add egg and ham to the rice stir and toss with the spoon.

 

4. When everything is mixed well, remove pan from the heat add chopped green onion to the rice and stir a little bit. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy!!

 

 

**Tip… Don't use hot rice because it will be mushy. It’s great to use previously cooked rice, at least 1 day old. Cooling the rice makes the grains separate.**
