Ham Fried Rice

A quick, tasty dish that brings out the smoky-savoury flavour of Jill’s hams.

Serves: 2–3
 Prep Time: 10 minutes
 Cook Time: 10 minutes

 

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup diced Jill’s Sausages Smoked Ham

  • 2 cups cooked day-old rice (cold, preferably jasmine or long grain)

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup diced carrots

  • ½ cup frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)

  • 2 stalks spring onions, chopped

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • Neutral oil (e.g. canola or sunflower) for cooking

  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

🔪 Instructions:

  1. Prep Ingredients
    Dice the ham, chop your veggies, and fluff your cold rice to break up clumps.

  2. Scramble the Eggs
    In a wok or large pan, heat a little oil over medium-high. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove and set aside.

  3. Stir-Fry Garlic and Ham
     Add more oil to the pan. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then toss in the diced Jill’s ham. Fry for 1–2 minutes until lightly caramelised.

  4. Add Veggies
     Stir in carrots and peas. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until tender.

  5. Add Rice & Combine
    Add the cold rice, breaking it up with your spatula. Mix well to combine with the ham and veggies.

  6. Season
    Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Toss everything until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  7. Finish with Spring Onions
    Stir in chopped spring onions, give it one last toss, and serve hot.

🥢 Optional Add-ons:

  • A dash of chilli oil or sriracha for heat

  • Top with a fried egg for extra richness

  • Swap in brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier twist
