Inspired by a local Thai restaurant, this Ham Fried Rice is delicious!
I buy a ham several times a year. I don’t buy it often, but when I do, I bake it and we eat a dinner with slices of ham. Then I chop up all the leftovers and divide it into freezer bags, and it makes for simple dinners later on. One of those delicious dinners is Ham Fried Rice.
After eating fried rice at a local restaurant not too long ago, I found that I really liked the way their ham fried rice was prepared. It had amazing flavor, so I tried to replicate that flavor in this rice. Not too salty, but flavorful– and I feel like I got it pretty well.
My husband said, “You should add this to the regular meals you make,” so that seemed like a good indicator that this was amazing. In fact, as I was editing the pictures for this ham fried rice, he saw a picture and said that he wished he would have gotten to eat more of it. So I think we’ll be having it for dinner again soon!
