- Soy Sauce: For gluten-free fried rice, you can use coconut aminos or tamari in place of the soy sauce.
- In place of the sesame oil, you can use canola, vegetable, or avocado oil.
- You can use any leftover ham you have on hand, or try shrimp, chicken, beef, or pork.
- Feel free to use your favorite frozen veggies; just make sure to use 12 ounces total.
- In place of the white rice, you can use an equal amount of cooked brown rice.
- Make sure your rice has been fully chilled before making this recipe. Hot rice will turn out mushy.
- Nutritional information does not include optional garnishes.
Storage: Store ham fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
