What ingredients do I need to make this Healthy Ham Fried Rice?

• Sesame oil
• Garlic- minced
• Crushed red pepper flakes
• Eggs
• Cooked diced ham- I use Kroger or John Morrell 
• Red or green bell pepper-diced
• Onion, diced
• Frozen peas
• Frozen carrots-diced and optional
• Cold cooked brown or white jasmine rice- You can use leftover long grain white or brown rice or I like to use Trader Joe’s microwavable organic brown rice. Let the rice sit out on a baking sheet so the moisture can evaporate. It’s best to add the rice when it’s cold.
• Soy sauce
• Geen onions-sliced

Can I use cooked riced cauliflower instead of regular brown or white rice?

Yes. You can use cooked riced cauliflower. However; keep in mind that cauliflower contains lots of moisture/ water which can make this rice dish mushy-I like is to press any excess moisture from the rice by transferring the cauliflower rice to a large paper towel or absorbent dish towel and squeeze/press to remove any remaining water. This ensures no excess moisture remains, which can make your dish soggy. Note: The cauliflower rice has a slightly different texture than regular rice.

Can I freeze this Healthy Ham Friend Rice?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze fried rice! I would recommend reheating it on the stove in a frying pan to keep it from getting mushy.

Heat a small, non-stick skillet or Wok over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Add eggs to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.
