Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice (day-old or chilled preferred)
  • 1 cup ham, diced
  • 2 whole egg
  • ¾ cup frozen peas

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the rice, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon. Stir constantly until rice is heated through and some grains turn golden, 4–5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Push rice to the sides of the skillet. Crack eggs into the center, scramble until no raw white remains, then mix into the rice.

  4. 4

    Add ham and frozen peas. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until peas are hot and rice glistens.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
