Ingredients
-
2 cups long-grain white rice
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil, or to taste
-
1 cup diced ham
-
½ cup sliced green onions
-
½ cup diced red bell peppers
-
½ cup diced carrots
-
½ cup green peas
-
3 cloves garlic, crushed
-
1 pinch salt
-
3 cups chicken broth
-
3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons chile paste (Optional)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Place rice in an 8x12-inch baking dish. Drizzle in canola and sesame oils, then toss rice until completely coated. Add ham, green onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas, garlic, and salt. Stir until well combined.
-
Bring chicken broth, soy sauce, and chile paste to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Pour broth over rice and stir briefly. Cover the baking dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 32 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
-
Carefully remove the foil and fluff rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning. Return to the oven and cook until rice is browned and crusty on top, about 10 minutes.
