Fried rice with juicy pineapple, ham, peas and soy sauce.

Sweet, smoky, one-pan

Juicy pineapple chunks meet smoky ham in this island-style fried rice — sweet, savory, and done in minutes.

Perfect rice is the foundation here — our How to Cook Perfect Rice Every Time covers ratios, rinsing, and resting.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  2. Stir-fry the ham 2 minutes until browned; add the pineapple and garlic and cook 1 minute.
  3. Push everything aside, add the eggs, and scramble.
  4. Add the rice and peas, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry 3 minutes.
  5. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper; toss with green onions and serve.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Cold, day-old rice is essential — fresh rice turns mushy. Cook over high heat for the smoky wok flavor.
