Ingredients
  • 6-8 cups of cooked rice
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ lb of ham cut into small cubes
  • ½-1 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, finely chopped
  • 1 zucchini, finely chopped or grated, optional
  • 1-1½ cups frozen peas
  • 3-5 tbsp soy sauce, depending on personal taste
  • 1 tbsp canola, or vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. I start my rice cooking in the rice cooker before I start anything else. Leftover rice works great if you have it)
  2. In a large skillet, add oil and saute ham pieces, onion, carrots and zucchini (if using) until veggies are tender.
  3. While veggies and ham are sauteing, steam frozen peas or cover them with water and cook in microwave for 4-6 minutes and then drain, set aside.
  4. In a one quart glass bowl crack six eggs, add a splash of milk and salt and pepper. Whisk until well beaten. Place in microwave for 90 seconds, stir, microwave again for 60 seconds, stir, microwave for 60 seconds. At this point eggs should be almost fully cooked, if they are not, continue to cook in 20-30 second increments until there is no more liquid and eggs are fluffy.Use a fork to break large pieces if needed.
  5. Add the cooked rice and soy sauce to the cooked veggies and ham. Stir well, add peas and scrambled eggs last and mix until just combined.
  6. Serve with soy sauce in case anyone wants to add a little more to their personal bowl.
