Fried rice with vegetables and ham topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooled cooked long grain rice
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup diced ham
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms (remove stems)
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tbsp Asian sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 - 1.5 tsp Asian chili oil
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
Preparation:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat, then stir in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the pan to create a flat egg pancake. Cook until half-set, about 10 seconds; remove the fried eggs to a plate.
- Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the ham and shiitake mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper, sweet chili sauce, ginger, soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the peppers are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add the rice, stirring to break up any lumps, and spread it out in the pan. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg to the pan and cook, stirring and breaking the egg to thoroughly combine, about 1 minute. Season with salt, if needed. Add chili oil, garnish with green onions, and serve.
