- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions; best results come from using chilled, day-old rice.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm sesame oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden brown (about 1 minute).
- Add frozen peas, carrots, and diced ham; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Gently fold in pineapple chunks; cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add prepared rice to the skillet, breaking up clumps while mixing thoroughly for about 5 minutes.
- Push rice mixture to one side of the skillet, crack eggs into the empty space, and scramble until just set before folding them into the rice.
- Drizzle soy sauce over everything and stir well to combine. Season lightly with black pepper before serving hot.
