Best Ham Fried Rice


Our Family loves ham fried rice; we are huge fans. For this reason, I have tried just about every recipe out there for ham fried rice. Some were too sweet, some too dry, etc. etc.; but this one is just right. :) I love the peas and carrots in this recipe, it adds a great fresh taste to the dish. The chicken bouillon gives it a lot of flavor. I love how fast it comes together. This is a great go-to when you are short on time and need a quick meal.

Best Ham Fried Rice
adapted from family dinner cookbook
*(rice must be day old, it is not as good with fresh rice, the rice needs to be dried)
2 cups cooked rice (day old)
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
3 eggs, well beaten
1/2 c. ham, diced
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 c. frozen peas and carrots
1 tsp. chicken bouillon
3 tsp, soy sauce

Heat 1 Tbs. oil in a large skillet. Scramble eggs. Remove eggs from skillet and heat remaining oil. Stir-fry ham and rice until ham starts to brown. Add green onions, peas, carrots, and stir-fry until vegetables are cooked through. Sprinkle with bouillon and soy sauce. Return scrambled eggs to skillet and mix well. Heat through then serve.
