Chicken Fried Rice

• 2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
• 4 cups cold leftover white rice, crumbled into individual grains
• 2 cups diced leftover chicken
• 1/2 pound ham steak, cut into 1/4-inch dice (2 cups)
• 1 cup frozen petite peas
• 2 large eggs, beaten together with 1 tablespoon dry sherry
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• Kosher salt

1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the ginger and garlic with the canola oil until they start to sizzle steadily, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it softens and heats through, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the chicken, ham, and peas and cook until heated though, about 2 minutes.
4. Make a well in the center of the rice and add the eggs.
5. Cook, stirring a few times, until the egg starts to set, then break it up with a spatula into small pieces.
6. Stir the mixture together, drizzle with the sesame oil, season with salt to taste, toss well, and serve immediately.
