Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 to 5 slices deli ham
- 1 teaspoon barbecue spice rub
- 3 scallions, sliced thin on the bias, white and green parts separated
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chile garlic sauce, chile paste or curry paste, optional
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup fresh, frozen or canned pineapple, chopped
- 1 large egg, cooked sunny-side up
- 1 teaspoon canned french-fried onions
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham, barbecue spice and scallion whites. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium. Toss the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl. Add to the skillet and quickly stir so the ham and scallions get evenly distributed in the rice. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes so the bottom gets crispy.
- Combine the hoisin, soy, chile sauce and ginger in a small bowl and whisk together. Add the sauce to the skillet along with the peas and pineapple. Stir gently to combine, retaining the crispy bottom. Serve immediately topped with the fried egg, french-fried onions, sesame seeds and scallion greens.

WOWZA, This is the best! It’s easy, really really tasty, and a show stopper. Thank you so much you great chef, you!
This was so yummy!! Was trying to find ways to use up leftover ham and came across this recipe. So glad I did – made as directed and wouldn’t change anything!
Love it easy to make
My family loves when I make it

My favorite fried rice recipe
So easy and so tasty!! The quarantine episodes are definitely some of my favorites!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Freaking delicious ! I used white onion in stead of green, and 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger instead of fresh. Getting the rice crispy is the key along with that oh so runny egg.
Really good recipe! A little spicy. Very easy to put together. I would recommend 4 eggs, one for each serving.
Such layers of flavor! Substituted a shallot for the scallions and sauteed a red bell pepper along with the shallot and ham. The hubs devoured it!
Every year for the past 30 years, my husband and I make a traditional bone-in ham for Easter and we wind up with an abundance of ham in the freezer that lasts for months. No truer words were spoken when Dorothy Parker said “Eternity is a ham and two people”. After about 6 weeks, we struggle with finding new ways to transform “the ham” into something that doesn’t remind us that we are eating ham. The day this aired, it was a scheduled “ham night” and luckily I had all the ingredients on hand. I followed the recipe exactly. Wow! It is absolutely delicious– the crispy crust, the hint of sweetness from the pineapple and that creamy, oozing egg yolk was pure bliss for our ham weary stomachs. Total game-changer in our quest to finish the Easter ham by the end of June. We will definitely be making this again and again (and again)! Thank you Jeff!
Absolutely delicious. I like the ham, since there was no Spam… Haha. Anyway, we even got the crust on the bottom and the egg on top and it was ever so good and so easy. Thanks Jeff!
