Ham Fried Rice

Eric's Version that he learned to make while living in Japan. 

5 cups Uncooked Rice

2 cups ham (cubed or sliced into small pieces)

1/2 bag frozen peas and carrots (or your favorite veggie combo)

2 eggs

4 Tablespoons margarine or butter

1/3 c. Soy Sauce

1/3 c. Teriyaki Sauce

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

Sesame seeds (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cook rice using your own preferred method (we have a rice cooker. Lucky us!). While rice is cooking scramble eggs. In a very large skillet add eggs and cook until done. Add ham, then add cooked rice and margarine.  Stir until margarine is melted throughout rice. Pour in soy sauce and teriyaki sauce until flavored to your taste. Between a 1/4 and 1/2 cup each. Add vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, sesame seeds, salt and pepper. Stir until combined and veggies are heated through. Serve.

This recipe make a ton. Enough for almost two full meals for our family.
