Notes
I find that it’s best to use leftover rice for this recipe. Make sure that the rice is cold as it’s easier to sauté on the grill when it’s cold.
Recipe Tips
- Prepare Griddle - Before cooking the veggies, make sure to preheat and melt butter or oil. This helps to create a delicious flavor and prevents it from sticking.
- Combining the ingredients - Allow the rice, veggies and ham to heat on the griddle after adding the soy sauce.
Substitutions and Additions
- Change Rice - Feel free to use any day old rice that you prefer. Jasmine Rice, White Rice, Long-Grain Brown Rice are great options. For a low-carb option you can even use cauliflower rice.
- Veggies - You can also use any type of vegetables that you have on hand. We have added in bell peppers, chopped broccoli and zucchini to sneak in those veggies.
- Soy Sauce - We used a low sodium soy sauce but you can substitute with coconut aminos or Tamari.
- Seasoning - You can easily add in some cloves garlic for delicious flavor or minced garlic.
