Colorful Egg Fried Rice

Makes 4 servings

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

3 tablespoons cooking oil

¼ pound ham, cut into ½-inch cubes

1 cup diced carrot, cut into ½-inch cubes

¼ cup fresh or frozen corn

2 cups cooked, cold rice*

Salt and white pepper to taste

2 green onions, minced

¼ cup toasted, crushed almonds

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:

In a bowl, whisk eggs until fluffy. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.

Heat cooking oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat. Pour in egg mixture. Cook, without stirring, until the eggs are softly set.

Break up the eggs with a spatula. Add ham, carrot, corn, and rice. Cook and stir until rice mixture is heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with green onions and almonds. Serve hot.

Note: Use cold rice for this fried rice dish so the rice will not stick together and get mushy.
