This easy ham fried rice recipe is made by combining leftover rice, diced ham, veggies, and special seasonings for one delicious meal that's on the table in under 20 minutes!
Heat 1 TBS of the butter in a large saute pan or wok over medium-high heat. As the butter melts, swirl it around the pan to coat the entire surface of the pan.
Immediately after the butter melts, add the whisked eggs and cook until scrambled, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the egg and set aside.
Add the peas and carrots and ham to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until warmed.
Make a well in the middle of the pan by pushing all of the ham and vegetables to the side. Add the last tablespoon of butter in the middle of the well and stir until melted.
Immediately add the rice and stir into the melted butter for 1 minute.
Stir ham and vegetables into the rice and continue stirring for 3 minutes until the rice is hot and fried.
Sprinkle the garlic and ginger over the fried rice and stir continuously for one more minute.
Add the egg and coconut aminos and stir for one more minute.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sesame oil until combined.
Taste and season with extra coconut aminos as needed. Serve immediately.
