Recreate Leftovers into a totally different meal with this simple Fried Rice with Ham. Rice is fried in a hot skillet along with coconut oil and sesame oil, then mixed with onions, fresh ginger, peas, edamame, eggs, soy sauce and plenty of ham.

I used the ham bone with all the yummy ham bits to make a big pot of beans. Northern Beans is one of our favorite meals to make when we have leftover holiday ham. I love to take leftovers from one meal and turn them into a whole new dish. It surprises me at what you can come up with.
You can use white or brown rice, so it's really versatile. I have to admit it comes pretty darn close and taste just as good as take out fried rice. I think next time I will try adding some edamame and see how that goes over.
Ham Fried Rice
{mommyskitchen.net}
4 - cups cold cooked white or brown rice (leftover is best)
1 1/2 - cups cooked ham, diced
2 - teaspoons sesame oil
2 - teaspoons coconut oil
1/2 - cup frozen peas or edamame, shelled
1 - cup broccoli slaw
1/2 - cup white onion, chopped
1 - clove garlic, minced
1 - teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 - eggs
2 - tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 - tablespoon teriyaki sauce
In a wok or large skillet, heat the sesame and coconut oil together over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, peas or edamame, ginger and broccoli slaw. Stir fry until tender (about 5 minutes)
Crack eggs into pan and scramble, mixing throughout the vegetables until the egg is cooked. Add rice and ham, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and gently stir in the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce. Serve immediately.
Servings: 5-6
Cooks Tip: When making fried rice it's best to use day-old or leftover rice. If you don't have any on hand, prepare a batch early in the morning and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
I have included some step by step photos to show you how easy this dish is to prepare.
Enjoy!

It's funny that you posted this. I made the same thing, only with left over chicken. Great minds think a like.
I think fried rice is great with any type of leftover meat. I bet your chicken fried rice was good as well.
Looks wonderful! I've never made it with ham but do LOVE some fried rice. Thanks for sharing - great tutorial!
I just made this last night and the only thing I changed was the rice. I used yellow rice and it was awesome. Great recipe.

I rediscovered it today after I found one of your recipies I had printed out and stuck in a cookbook. I am so glad I came across it again! You have some great recipies and I can't wait to use some of them again soon!
