    Push the eggs to the side of the skillet after cooking.
  4. Add the Vegetables and Ham

    Stir in the ham, peas, carrots, and pineapple. Cook until heated through.

    Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes.

    Add the cooked jasmine rice and soy sauce to the skillet. Mix well.

    Break up any clumps of rice as you stir.
