Description
A quick and delicious fried rice recipe with pineapple, ham, and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 onion (peeled and finely diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (deseeded and diced)
- 10 button mushrooms (sliced in half)
- 115 g (2/3 cup) frozen peas
- 150 g (1 cup) cooked ham chunks (or shredded ham)
- 400 g (14oz) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 600 g (4 cups) cooked white long-grain rice, cooled
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- juice of ½ lemon
- 2 spring onions (scallions, chopped)
- sriracha or sweet chilli sauce
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Add the neutral oil and sesame oil to a wok over a medium–high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes until the onion softens.
- Add the red pepper, mushrooms, peas, ham, pineapple, salt and pepper. Cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add the cooked rice and increase the heat to high. Toss everything together using a spatula.
- Add the soy sauce and garlic powder and continue to cook, moving everything around the pan regularly so it doesn’t stick, until the rice is hot (this should take 5–6 minutes).
- Once the rice is hot, push the rice over to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the space. Move the pan so that the eggs are right over the heat. Move the eggs around slowly until they start to scramble. As they scramble, mix the eggs into the rice.
- Add the lemon juice, stir and taste. Add more soy sauce or lemon juice if needed.
- Divide between bowls and top with chopped spring onions, a drizzle of sriracha and some lemon wedges.
Notes
- This dish can be customized with different proteins or vegetables based on your preference.
