Island Fried Rice
3 Cups cooked rice (1 cup uncooked)
6-8 ounces ham or Spam, cubed
2 tsp oil
2 eggs
2 Tbls water
2 Tbls oil
2 tsp minced garlic (2 cloves)
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 small can pineapple tidbits, drained, reserve juice
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce & pineapple juice, mixed
Heat the 2 tsp oil in a large skillet or a wok. Sauteed the ham, then
remove it from the skillet. Beat the eggs and water together with a
fork, add to skillet and scramble, breaking into small pieces. Remove
from skillet.
Heat the 2 Tbls oil, and saute the garlic and green onions. This is
where you can add an other vegetables you might want. DON'T BURN THE
GARLIC! It gets bitter and yucky! Add the pineapple, then the ham and
eggs. Stir well.
Stir in the rice, mix well. You can cook until the rice begins to brown if you like it that way. Stir constantly!
Stir in the sauce. Cook and stir until the rice coated.
This is good topped with more sliced green onions.
Optional: Add a cup of peas and carrots, from a bag of frozen that cooks in the microwave.
Makes four servings as a side dish, or two big servings for pigs.
You need a BIG skillet for this! Five quart size. Like a fryer. Doesn't have to have a lid, though.
