02Steps
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the whisked eggs and scramble until just set but still slightly moist, about 30-45 seconds. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside.
- Add the diced ham to the pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the cooked Japanese rice to the pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to break up any clumps, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly dry.
- Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Add the chopped green onions, soy sauce, mirin, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, mixing all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and fragrant.
- Finally, add the unsalted butter to the fried rice. Toss or stir until the butter has melted and coated the rice, adding a rich gloss and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
