Did you smoke a ham recently? Chances are you have some leftovers, which is what brought you here. Ham fried rice is a quick, simple recipe that will make you want to cook ham just for the leftovers.

What Do I Need to Make Ham Fried Rice?

The ingredients for ham fried rice are simple. In fact, all of these just might be in your fridge and pantry. First, use a pound of that leftover ham, cut into cubes. If you have thin slices leftover, that’s fine too. The full list of ingredients are as follows:

• 1 lb of ham, cubed
• 4 Cups rice (precooked, chilled)
• 12 oz. bag of frozen peas and carrots
• 3 tsp garlic, minced
• 1/2 Cup white onion, diced
• 4 eggs, scrambled
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sesame seed oil

Warm Up the Griddle

With this being a BBQ blog, I recommend cooking this up outside on the griddle. However, if you have a wok or a indoor griddle, that can work too. I fire up the Blackstone griddle with griddle top attachment to medium-low heat. Oil up the griddle with avocado oil because it doesn’t burn off as fast as other cooking oils.

To start, dump the bag of frozen peas and carrots on the griddle. Next, mix in the ham, diced onion, and garlic. Mix around a bit to get a little char on as much of the ingredients as possible. While this is cooking, pour four beaten eggs onto the griddle away from the other ingredients. This will cook fast. Feel free to remove from griddle when finished to add later.

With the extra space on the griddle, add the chilled, precooked rice. You will want it precooked and refrigerated to keep it from burning. Mix in the soy sauce and sesame seed oil into the rice. After 2-3 minutes, mix the ingredients altogether (including the eggs). Scoop up the ham fried rice with the spatula (or spatulas) and pour into a medium or large sized bowl.

That’s it! Quick, simple, and definitely a repeat dish for any leftover ham you may have.
