How to make Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 5-6 cups leftover cooked rice (if you are making fresh rice, cook 1 ¼ cups and set aside to cool)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of chopped ham
• 1 cup of green peas
• Vegetable oil
• Sesame oil
• Soy sauce
• Handful of green onion or scallion, chopped (optional)
• Wok

 Directions:

1.        Whisk 1 tsp. of vegetable oil into 2 eggs.  On medium heat, pour eggs into wok.  Genty scramble, set aside.
2.        Increase heat to high on stove.  Coat wok with 3 tbsp. of vegetable oil.  Pour rice in.  Fold rice over itself with spatula, add swigs of oil in increments as you are mixing rice until the kernels look separated and not like sticky clumps.
3.        Add egg, diced ham, and peas, stir.  Add 1 tsp. sesame oil, stir.  Add soy sauce until desired saltiness/color.  I personally don’t like my rice to taste like salt, so my rice comes out a light brown color.
4.        Garnish with green onion/scallion.  Serves 4-6.  Or if you’re really hungry, 1-2.
