Directions
-
Rinse the uncooked rice and place it in a saucepan with enough water to cover by about an inch.
-
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 9 minutes or until the rice is tender but still slightly firm.
-
Drain the rice well. Return to the pot or transfer to a bowl and stir in the corn oil to prevent sticking. Let cool slightly.
-
While the rice cooks, chop the ham into small dice. Trim and slice the snow peas if large. Wash and drain the bean sprouts.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
-
Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat until shimmering.
-
Add the diced onion and stir-fry for 1 minute until softened.
-
Add the sliced scallions and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the diced ham, snow peas, bean sprouts, and cooked rice to the pan. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, breaking up any clumps of rice.
-
Push the rice mixture to the sides of the pan to create a clear space in the center.
-
Crack the egg into the center space. Immediately scramble it with a spatula until just set.
-
Mix the scrambled egg into the rice and vegetable mixture.
-
Create a small well in the center of the rice mixture again.
-
Pour the soy sauce and sugar mixture into the well. Let it sizzle for a few seconds.
-
Toss all ingredients together thoroughly to coat the rice in the sauce. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
-
Taste the rice and add salt or additional soy sauce if needed.

Note
For best results, use day-old cooked rice as it is drier and less likely to become mushy when stir-frying. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a tray to cool and dry out for 30 minutes before cooking.
You can substitute the honey roast ham with leftover chicken, pork, or shrimp for a different flavor profile.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, green beans, or peas for extra color and nutrition.
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
