Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white rice 5 cups cooked
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups cubed ham*
- 4 green onions chopped
- 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple chopped
- 4 Tbsp liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Cook the white rice a day ahead of time (or use leftover rice) and store in the refrigerator.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large pot or skillet (I use a Dutch oven) over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper, garlic, and ham and sauté until the bell pepper has softened and the ham has a slight golden brown crust, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked rice, green onions, pineapple, and liquid aminos and mix well. In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs until cooked through, then transfer them to the pot with the Hawaiian fried rice.
- Serve with your main entree, and enjoy!
- Store leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
*I bought a ham steak and chopped it into small pieces.
