Weeknight Fried Rice

I kept putting off making this recipe because I'm not the world's biggest rice fan. Once I did make it, I had to wonder, why I put it off so long.

Ingredients List:

4 tablespoons Olive Oil (divided)

1/2 cup Green Onions

1. Add 2 tablespoons of the Oil to a saucepan over medium heat.

2. Add the rice and cook to toast for a few minutes.

3. Stir in the Water, Pineapple Juice, and Salt.

4. Bring to a boil.

5. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and cover the pan.

7. In a second large, non-stick saute pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Oil over medium-high heat.

8. Add the ham and cook, stirring often, until it starts to brown.

9. Add the Pineapple, Green Onion, and Peas.
