HAM FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a small bowl with a large pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Add the canola oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to a large non-stick skillet or wok and place over MEDIUM heat. Add the beaten egg to the hot skillet and cook, stirring, until it begins to form soft curds, about 30 seconds. Transfer the soft-cooked eggs to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the skillet (if skillet seems very dry, you can also add a little additional canola oil) and return it to MEDIUM heat. Add the carrots, and the white parts of the green onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are fork tender, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add the cooked rice, peas, ham and cooked eggs to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and cook, stirring until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the green parts of the green onions.
• Serve immediately with Sriracha on the side.

HAM STIR FRY WITH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• To Make Couscous: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in couscous, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until fluffy. Cover and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger. Mix together and set aside.

HAM STIR FRY

Steps:

• 1. Julienne the ham.
• 2. Stir fry the ham in a hot skillet wit the olive oil.
• 3. Add in the package of grated carrots and coleslaw mix and stir fry with the ham pieces.
• 4. Sprinkle onion soup mix on the stir fry and the dill.
• 5. As the cabbage, carrots and ham cook add in a cup of water and stir around. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 6. Lower heat for 10 minutes and get ready to serve. I usually serve it with rice and sometimes I add frozen peas at the end to add another touch of flavor.

HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
• When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
• Remove and set the ham aside.
• Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
• When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
• When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
• Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
• Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
• Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
• Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!
