Equipment

  • wok or a large skillet

Ingredients

  • 5 cup Semi-brown steamed rice cold or left over
  • 1 cup Ham cut to small cubes
  • 4 eggs fried first and break them to small pieces
  • 1/2 cup Edamame shelled
  • 1 cup cabbage leaves diced to small pieces
  • 4 tbsp Kimchi cut to small pieces
  • 4 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder
  • 2 tbsp Green onion cut to small pieces
  • 2 clove Garlic smashed and cut to small pieces
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sichuan chili powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Have your cold leftover rice ready
  • Cut the ham into small cubes and the vegetables to small pieces. Cook the shelled Edamame and set it aside.
  • Scramble the eggs in the skillet first and break them into small pieces. Set it aside.
    Or you can skip this step and cook the eggs after the ham is sautéed. Push the ham to one side of the skillet and directly scramble the eggs in the skillet. Save 5 minutes of your prep time. I like to scramble the eggs first and set it aside and mix them to the rice in the last two minutes to avoid overcooking the eggs.
  • Heat the large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the oil to the pan once it’s hot.
    Add the garlic, 2/3 of the green onion, the Chiese Five Spice Powder and the Sichuan Chili powder to the hot oil.
  • Add ham and sauté for 2 minutes then add Edamame for another 2 minutes sauté time
  • Mix in the cold rice to the pot. The cold rice will prevent them from sticking to a big chunk. Stir and mix everything well to make sure all the rice get frying time for 5 minutes before adding the soy sauce and salt. Next is to mix the veggies to the rice and the egg a minute later. Stir fry all the ingredients well.
  • Garnish the fried rice with the cilantro and green onion for the appealing look and extra herbal flavor. Remove the skillet from the heat.
