Receta Ham Fried Rice {Leftover Ham Recipe}
Pin It
I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning? I finally used up all of the leftover ham from Easter. We put a pretty good dent in the ham itself, so there wasn't really too much to freeze. I think I had just enough to make two additional meals.
I used the ham bone with all the yummy ham bits to make a big pot of beans. Northern Beans is one of our favorite meals to make when we have leftover holiday ham. I love to take leftovers from one meal and turn them into a whole new dish. It surprises me at what you can come up with.
I had less than 2 cups of chopped ham left, so I made Ham Fried Rice which turned out fabulous! I actually think any type of leftover meat would work in this recipe (chicken, pork or beef).
You can use white or brown rice, so it's really versatile. I have to admit it comes pretty darn close and taste just as good as take out fried rice. I think next time I will try adding some edamame and see how that goes over.

Cooks Tip: When making fried rice it's best to use day-old or leftover rice. If you don't have any on hand, prepare a batch early in the morning and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
