--------  ------------  --------------------------------

  3               cups  leftover cooked white rice

  2        Tablespoons  peanut oil -- or vegetable oil

  2                     shallots -- finely chopped

     1/2                red bell pepper -- finely chopped

  1         Tablespoon  oyster sauce

  1         Tablespoon  soy sauce

  1         Tablespoon  Chinese rice wine -- or dry sherry

  1                cup  fresh pineapple -- cut into 1/2-inch bite-size cubes

     1/4           cup  chopped thickly sliced ham

 

Break up the cold cooked rice into smaller clumps.

 

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water

sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat

the bottom. Add the shallots and bell peppers and stir-fry until fragrant

and the edges of the shallots begin to crisp, about 1 minute. Move the

shallots and bell peppers to the side, creating a well in the middle. Toss

in the rice and break up any remaining clumps with a spatula.

 

Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and rice wine. Continue to stir-fry

until the rice starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add the pineapple

and ham. Give everything in the wok a few quick stirs so that the ham and

pineapple are heated through. Transfer to a large bowl or plate and serve

hot.

 

Serves 4 as a side dish, or 2 as a main

 

AuthorNote: The secret to making delicious fried rice is stir-frying with

cold leftover rice. Rice that has been cooled is firmer and has less

moisture, and it develops the signature crispy texture more easily in the

wok. Just remember to break up your rice into smaller clumps before

stir-frying. This delicious fried rice, typical of the offerings of

American Cantonese restaurants, pairs chopped ham with the sweet taste of

the tropics.
