Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ onion, chopped
• 3 cups cooked brown rice
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided, or more as needed
• 1 cup diced fully cooked ham

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a wok or skillet on high heat for 1 minute.

Step 2

Coat wok thoroughly with 2 tablespoons peanut oil; reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onion until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Crack eggs directly into the wok. Stir quickly to scramble until eggs begin to set but are still fluid, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir ham into the wok and cook just until warmed through, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir butter and remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil into the wok; let warm for 10 seconds. Add rice and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, adding more oil if rice begins to stick.

Step 6

Season fried rice with salt and pepper; top with Cheddar cheese.
