Ham Fried Rice

Ingredients:
1 TBSP butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup green pepper chopped
1-2 cups of stir fry vegetables
1 cup of diced ham
2 -4 TBSP soy sauce
4 cups of cooked rice (2 cups uncooked, don't over cook)
1-2 eggs beaten

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet (and it means large) melt butter. Saute onions and green pepper until soft. Add stir fy veggies and fry until soft.
2. Add remaining ingredients except egg. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is mixed up.
3. Stir in eggs and cook 2-3 minutes longer until egg is done and mixture sticks together.

Review:
Pros: This is a really easy, see what's in the fridge recipe. You can mix in vegetables that you like or have in the fridge. Plus, it's a great way to sneak in more vegetables (This is a regular thing I am always trying to do at our house.) I usually serve this by itself or with a salad and bread.

Cons: Sometimes it's hard to get the egg just right so it stick together. I usually end up adding 2 eggs, sometimes 3, if I have medium eggs. We like ours pretty sticky. Also, it doesn't reheat up quite the same, so sprinkle a little water on it before you zap it.
