Ingredients: 3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided, or more as needed; 1/2 onion, chopped; 2 large eggs; 1 cup diced fully cooked ham; 2 tablespoons butter; 3 cups cooked brown rice; kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Ingredients

3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided, or more as needed
1/2 onion, chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup diced fully cooked ham
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups cooked brown rice
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a wok or skillet on high heat for 1 minute.

Step 2

Coat wok thoroughly with 2 tablespoons peanut oil; reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onion until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Crack eggs directly into the wok. Stir quickly to scramble until eggs begin to set but are still fluid, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir ham into the wok and cook just until warmed through, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir butter and remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil into the wok; let warm for 10 seconds. Add rice and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, adding more oil if rice begins to stick.

Step 6

Season fried rice with salt and pepper; top with Cheddar cheese.
