Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of fragrant toasted sesame oil
  • A generous cup of vibrant green bell pepper, chopped
  • ¾ cup of slender matchstick-cut carrots
  • A full cup of fresh green onions, separated
  • One cup of succulent cubed ham
  • Around ⅔ cup of tender green peas, thawed from frozen
  • 4 aromatic cloves of minced garlic
  • Two convenient packages of 8.5-ounce Uncle Ben's® Ready Rice® Jasmine Rice
  • Three tablespoons of flavorful reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • A tablespoon of unseasoned rice vinegar for an authentic touch
  • Four large, farm-fresh eggs

Step 1

Begin by warming up some oil in a generously sized nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the vibrant bell pepper and crunchy carrots, letting them sizzle together for about 2 minutes. Next, introduce a colorful mix of 3/4 cup of green onions, savory ham, fresh green peas, and pungent garlic to the pan, allowing them to mingle and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 2

Now, it's time to bring in the uncooked rice, adding it to the pan with a generous drizzle of soy sauce and a splash of vinegar. Stir everything together and let the flavors marry for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. To add a delightful twist, create four little wells in the rice mixture and carefully crack a fresh egg into each one. Cover the pan and let it cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired level of doneness, typically around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Finally, unveil your culinary creation and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of green onions on top as a vibrant garnish. This dish is now ready to be enjoyed, offering a delightful mix of flavors and textures in every bite.

  1. 1. Keep your pantry stocked with essential ingredients like rice, eggs, and ham for a quick and easy meal solution.
