Easy Chinese Fried Rice
- 4 tablespoons oil (I use olive oil)
- 4 large eggs
- salt to taste
- 2 large scallions, sliced, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup diced boiled ham (I get a slice from the deli, 1/2 inch thick)
- 5 cups leftover, cold, cooked rice (I use brown basmati)
- kosher salt
- 1/2 cup frozen baby peas, thawed
- sesame oil to taste
- soy sauce (optional)
- In a large non-stick saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Beat eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon water, and scramble. Break up the eggs into small pieces. Remove and set aside.
- Heat remaining oil to medium heat. Add scallions and cook until fragrant, but not mushy.
- Add diced ham and cook until heated through.
- While scallions and ham are cooking, break up the rice. Add rice to scallions and ham. Stir until rice is heated.
- Add the peas and stir until heated through.
- Stir in the scrambled egg pieces.
- Season the fried rice with salt to taste.
- Lightly drizzle sesame oil over, to taste. Stir.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced scallions, passing the soy sauce separately.
