Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil, swirling to coat the surface.

Step 2

Add ham, carrots, and peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Push the ham and vegetables to the side of the skillet. Pour beaten eggs into the center. Scramble eggs until fully cooked, then mix with the ham and vegetables.

Step 4

Add the cooked rice, pineapple chunks, and green onions to the skillet. Drizzle soy sauce over the top. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

For the sweet and sour sauce, combine pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Serve the fried rice with the sweet and sour sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
