Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 eggs whisked
  • 4 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cups rice (cooked, cooled, and refrigerated at least four hours)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups cooked ham cubed
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 green onions diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt.
  • Add the eggs, using a spatula, scrape from the outsides to the center, flipping them as you cook them. Cook until just done, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm. (If the pan has a lot of residual eggs, clean it and then return it to the heat.)
  • Add the sesame oil to the pan. Heat until smoking. Add in the rice, garlic, ham, and soy sauce, tossing until well coated in oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the green onions, frozen peas, and the eggs. Serve and enjoy.
