Recipe Notes
Sesame Oil: This adds a delicious flavor but you can substitute another high smoke point oil such as avocado oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil. Ham: You can use any ham that you have on hand. This is a great recipe to use extra ham from the holidays or you can even use packaged cubed ham. Frozen Mixed Vegetables: I used the Great Value brand of mixed vegetables which includes carrots, peas, corn, and green beans but you can really use any vegetable mixture you like. Fried Rice Seasoning Mix: I used the Sun-Bird brand of fried rice seasoning mix which can be found at Walmart. Any brand can be used as a substitute or you can make your own seasoning if you prefer. Rice: This is a great recipe for leftover rice because it works best with rice that has been cooked and cooled completely. If you do make the rice fresh for this recipe be sure to give it time to cool first. Large Eggs: Be sure your eggs are scrambled before you add them to the pan, otherwise everything will be coated with egg. Alternatively, you can push everything to the side, scramble the eggs in half the pan and then mix everything together like they do at Mongolian grills. Soy Sauce: For a gluten-free alternative, use coconut aminos or tamari.
This whole dish is super easy and a huge time-saver for busy weeknight dinners! This recipe can also be adjusted to create a big feast for a large group of people and it makes a fast bulk meal to bring to potlucks.
