Leftover ham? Turn it into amazing Ham Fried Rice. It's so good, you'll want leftovers on purpose! We're combining day-old rice, diced ham, and veggies, stir-fried for a quick, savory meal.
SAUCE: Prep everything first; cooking goes fast! Combine all sauce ingredients in a small jar. Shake well and set aside.
EGGS: Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs in a bowl, then pour into the skillet once the butter is melted. Scramble eggs until just cooked (still slightly wet); transfer to a plate. Chop or break up with a spatula and set aside.
FRIED RICE: Increase heat to high. In the same skillet, add oil, ham, onion, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry until ham is golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and cook until excess water evaporates (2-3 minutes). Stir in the rice and prepared sauce. Cook for 1½ to 2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.
SERVE: Mix through the cooked eggs, green onions, and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes
Note 1: Rice: If you don't have day-old rice, spread freshly cooked rice on a lined sheet pan. Let it cool slightly, then refrigerate (or freeze) until chilled before using in the recipe.
