# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot sauce in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 -
Heat 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced red bell pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until crisp-tender. Add diced ham and the white portion of the green onions, cooking until the ham is lightly browned. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and set aside.
03 -
Pour the remaining vegetable oil into the same skillet and heat. Add cold cooked rice and break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry rice for approximately 8 minutes until thoroughly heated.
04 -
Push rice to one side of the skillet. Crack eggs into the empty side, gently scramble them, and cook until set.
05 -
Fold scrambled eggs and reserved ham mixture into the rice. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the rice and stir well to combine, cooking until everything is uniformly heated.
06 -
Remove skillet from heat. Gently fold in pineapple pieces and the green part of the onions. Serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Using cold, previously cooked rice prevents sticking and ensures each grain fries evenly.
02 -
For best flavor, do not overcook the eggs; add them just until set for a tender texture.
