In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.

2 cups cubed ham, 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables, 0.74 ounces fried rice seasoning mix
Add in the rice and sauté for another 5 minutes, or until the rice begins to brown.
4 cups cooked rice
Stir in the scrambled eggs and soy sauce and heat for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs and rice are heated through.
4 large eggs, 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sweet chili sauce, optional.
Chopped green onions, Sweet chili sauce

Soy Sauce: For gluten-free fried rice, you can use coconut aminos or tamari in place of the soy sauce.
In place of the sesame oil, you can use canola, vegetable, or avocado oil.
You can use any leftover ham you have on hand, or try shrimp, chicken, beef, or pork.
Feel free to use your favorite frozen veggies; just make sure to use 12 ounces total.
In place of the white rice, you can use an equal amount of cooked brown rice.
Make sure your rice has been fully chilled before making this recipe. Hot rice will turn out mushy.
Nutritional information does not include optional garnishes.

Storage: Store ham fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
