Instructions

  1. 1

    Make sure rice is cold — room temperature or refrigerator cold. Warm or freshly cooked rice will clump and stick rather than fry into individual grains.

  2. 2

    Heat wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add eggs and scramble quickly, keeping them in large, fluffy curds, about 45 seconds. They should be just barely set. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add remaining oil. Add ham and cook 2 minutes until slightly caramelized. Add garlic and ginger, stir-frying 30 seconds. Add cold rice, breaking up any clumps. Spread into an even layer and let sit undisturbed 2 minutes to develop a slight crust. Stir, then press flat again. Repeat twice.

  4. 4

    Add peas, soy sauce, and eggs. Toss everything together vigorously for 1–2 minutes. Drizzle sesame oil over the top, add green onions and white pepper, and give a final toss. Serve immediately.
