Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Low sodium cooked ham, diced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 0.5 cup Green peas (frozen or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all ingredients by dicing vegetables, chopping green onions, and beating the eggs. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add sesame oil and vegetable oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add diced carrot, red bell pepper, and green peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the vegetables.
Step 6
Add the diced low sodium ham to the skillet and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Step 7
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked brown rice. Mix everything thoroughly, breaking up clumps of rice.
Step 8
Drizzle the low sodium soy sauce evenly over the fried rice and stir well to combine. Cook for 2–3 minutes to allow the sauce to coat all the ingredients.
Step 9
Sprinkle chopped green onions and ground black pepper (optional) over the rice. Stir-fry for another minute.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your low sodium vegetable and ham fried rice!
