  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • Coarse salt
    • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water
    • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 5 ounces ham, thinly sliced and cut into strips
    • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
    • 4 cups cooked rice

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat; swirl to coat pan. In a small bowl, lightly beat together eggs, 2 teaspoons water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour into pan; cook, pulling in egg from edge of pan, until set, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate; when cool enough to handle, cut into strips.
  2. In pan, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add scallions and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ham and rice; season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until very hot, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add vinegar, peas, and eggs; cook until very hot, about 2 minutes.

Cook's Note

Even if a nonstick pan is called for in a recipe, you can use a regular skillet if you prefer. Keep in mind that a nonstick surface requires less oil during cooking. To give food the same golden color in a regular skillet you will need to use more oil so it does not stick to the pan.
