Ingredients

  • 12 ounces ham diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers chopped - any color
  • 1 bunch of scallions with the green and white diced and separated
  • 2 cups pineapple tidbits drained
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce

Instructions

  • Combine the ham, chopped bell pepper, and white portions of the scallions in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat. Saute for 5-8 minutes or until the bell pepper softens a bit and the ham has browned.
  • Add the pineapple, and cook with the ham and veggies for about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and push everything to one side of the pan.
  • Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the cleared side of the pan. Cook the eggs until cooked through.
  • Remove everything from the pan and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the butter and sesame oil.
  • Add the cooked rice and soy sauce to the pan. Stir together until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add the ham, veggies, and egg back to the pan with the rice and mix until everything is combined.
  • Top with the green part of the scallions and serve!

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • You can use spam instead of ham if desired.
  • Try adding other veggies such as peas or carrots.
  • I like to use the mini peppers for this recipe but any bell peppers will work.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The leftovers just get better!
