Main Ingredients
- 2 bowls Turmeric Rice
- 100g Handmade Ham
- 50g Carrot
- 1/4 Bell Pepper
- 1/2 Onion
Seasoning & Others
- 1/2 Tbsp Rock Salt
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Rock Salt
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the key ingredients for the fried rice. Finely dice the onion, carrot, bell pepper, and ham. Feel free to add shrimp or other leftover vegetables from your fridge for extra flavor! Prepare 1 bowl of warmed turmeric rice.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan. Add the carrots first and stir-fry until they begin to soften slightly. Then, add the diced onion and continue to sauté until the onion becomes translucent, releasing its fragrance.
Step 3
Here’s a secret to making delicious fried rice: timing the addition of the ham! Once the onions start to turn transparent, add the diced ham and stir-fry together, allowing the savory flavor of the ham to infuse into the vegetables.
Step 4
Add the bell pepper for a vibrant color and pleasant taste. To maintain its crispness, avoid overcooking; sauté it briefly with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Stir-fry everything once more to ensure the vegetables and ham are evenly distributed in the pan. This step helps to meld all the flavors together beautifully.
Step 6
Now, add the warmed turmeric rice to the pan. Gently mix and stir-fry with a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice grains. It’s important to stir-fry until the rice is well combined with the other ingredients. Since the ham is already seasoned, adjust the taste with 1/2 Tbsp of rock salt if needed. A pinch of black pepper can also enhance the aroma.
Step 7
For the best fried rice texture, always use cold rice as it binds better with the ingredients and results in a fluffy, non-sticky dish. A good tip is that the longer you stir-fry fried rice, the deeper and more delicious the flavors become, so don’t be shy with the cooking time!
Step 8
Finally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the fried rice for an extra nutty aroma. Serve the delicious Turmeric Ham Fried Rice generously on a plate to complete a satisfying meal. Enjoy your cooking!
