Fried Rice with Ham

I have been craving fried rice all week! This dish only took 15 minutes to make no excuse for not making dinner. I cooked the rice in a rice cooker the night before my husband and I both had to work 12 hour shifts the next day. Sometimes I don't feel like cooking after a long shift I wanted something quick and easy.

2-Tbs. peanut oil ( I used canola oil)

1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

1/2-tsp. peeled and minced fresh gingerroot

1/2-tsp. minced garlic

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4-tsp. salt

1/4-tsp. sugar

1/3 lb. finely diced cooked lean ham

1/2 cup frozen tiny peas

2-Tbs. soy sauce

2 cups cold cooked rice

1/2-tsp. sesame oil

• Heat oil in wok until hot. Add next 3 ingredients; stir-fry 1 minute. Add eggs; scramble loosely; break up with spatula. Add next 5 ingredients; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add rice; stir-fry 30 seconds. Add sesame oil; stir and serve immediately.
• For best results with fried rice recipes, be sure rice is cold before stir-frying.
• makes 4 servings.
