Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Cooking oil Avocado, or any vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic, Minced
  • ½ Cup Onion
  • 1 Cup Carrots
  • 1 Cup Ham, Cut into ½ Inch pieces
  • ½-1 Cup Broccoli
  • 4 Cups Rice cooked and refrigerated. Cold Rice works best
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 pinch Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 Tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce, (from a jar, your favorite kind)
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil Add at the end for flavor

Instructions

  • In a wok or Non-stick saute pan on the stove, warm a tablespoon of butter. 
  • Add the eggs and scramble until cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add a couple of Tablespoons of oil,  butter, or whatever fat you choose to use.  (If you're using butter, do a half and half ratio of butter and oil.  The butter has a lower smoke point and will burn easier.)
  • Add the onion and cook until the onion is transparent.
  • Move the vegetables to the side of the pan and add a little more oil. 
  • Add the chilled rice and mix it in with the veggies.  Add the diced ham.
  • Mix it all together. Let the rice and veggies on the bottom of the pan become golden brown before stirring.  Once golden, stir. Do this several times until the rice is a little more "fried."
  • Remove from the heat and add the seasonings and flavorings. Season with salt and pepper, plus any extra soy sauce and/or sesame oil if desired. Mix in scrambled eggs. 
  • Serve immediately.
