# Ingredients:
01 -
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
02 -
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
03 -
1 teaspoon hot sauce
04 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
05 -
1 red bell pepper, diced, ribs and seeds removed
06 -
2 cups diced ham
07 -
2 green onions, diced, whites and greens separated
08 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
09 -
5 cups cold, cooked white rice
10 -
3 large eggs
11 -
1 cup pineapple pieces
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and hot sauce. Set aside.
02 -
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring until crisp-tender. Add the diced ham and the white parts of the green onions; cook and stir until the ham is lightly browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove mixture to a separate bowl and set aside.
03 -
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet and heat until hot. Add the cold cooked white rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir frequently and cook until the rice is thoroughly heated, about 8 minutes.
04 -
Push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs onto the empty side and stir constantly until lightly scrambled and just set.
05 -
Mix the scrambled eggs and reserved ham mixture into the rice. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir thoroughly to coat. Continue cooking until all components are heated through.
06 -
Turn off the heat. Fold in the pineapple pieces and green parts of the onions. Toss to distribute evenly before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For best texture, use rice that has been cooked and chilled in advance; freshly cooked rice may result in a mushier dish.
