Fried Rice
Recipe courtesy Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
1/3 cup plain vegetable oil, like soy, corn, or peanut
1/3 pound black forest ham, diced, or about 2 cups cooked, cubed or shredded meat
1 onion, diced
Salt and pepper
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 whole scallions, thinly sliced on the bias, white and green separated
1 1/3 cups (6 ounces) medley frozen corn, peas, carrots
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups cold cooked long-grain rice, white or jasmine rice, grains separated

Instructions
Heat a large heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over high heat. When hot
add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the ham and cook stirring occasionally until lightly browned. Add
the onions to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until onion is

fragrant Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion whites and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the frozen vegetables. Cook until just defrosted but still crisp. Transfer contents of the
skillet to a large bowl.

Return the pan to the heat and add 2 more tablespoons of oil. Add the eggs and season with salt and
pepper. Stir the eggs constantly and cook until almost set but still moist, then transfer egg to the
bowl. Break the eggs up with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining oil. Add the rice to the pan and use a spoon to
break up any clumps. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry the rice to coat evenly with oil. Stop
stirring, and then let the rice cook undisturbed until its gets slightly crispy, about 2 minutes.
Stir the rice again, breaking up any new clumps. Add the scallion greens. Transfer to the bowl. Stir
all the ingredients together with the rice, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if
necessary. Serve.
