Ham & Egg Fried Rice
Ham and egg fried rice with a smoky depth from searing dark soy sauce against the hot pan. Made with just ham, eggs, onion, and green onion, it turns out fluffy and savory enough to clear a whole bowl in no time. A hearty meal you can put together in 20 minutes with what's in the fridge.

Tips
Use cold, leftover rice rather than freshly cooked rice for a fluffier result. The dark soy sauce should touch the bare bottom of the pan and be seared so its smoky aroma and savory depth come through.
