I am sure you are a fan of fried rice. Now, with this recipe, you could make your own delicious and healthy ham fried rice at home!
I used ham, egg, red onion, carrot, celery, sweet peas and of course, cooked white rice to make this dish. But feel free to substitute the ham with other types of meats or add other kinds of vegetables such as mushroom and broccoli instead.
I used a rice cooker to make the white rice for this dish. Rice cooker is an essential cooking appliance in a Chinese family’s kitchen. Here is a link to the rice cooker I am currently using.
Below is a summary of how I made this dish with pictures.
