Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Cooked Rice day old leftovers work best
  • 3 tbsp Butter (plus a little more) or cooking oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 oz Prosciutto Optional but recommended. You can also use pancetta or any leftover pork
  • 5 Green Onions diced
  • 1 lb Asparagus tough ends removed
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Peas
  • 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1.5 tsp Sesame Oil use chili sesame oil if you like a little spice

Instructions
 

  • If you are making this with prosciutto, cut your prosciutto into peices and add them to a pan on medium heat with a little bit of oil. Once they become crispy, remove them from heat and set aside.
  • Heat a little oil or butter in a pan. Scramble eggs and then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Chop up your asparagus and onions.
  • Add 1 tbsp butter to a large saute pan or wok. Once it heats up, add the majority of your onions and your asparagus. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the butter to the pan, followed by the sesame oil, your rice and peas. Mix well.
  • Add the soy sauce to the pan and mix well. Once it is fully incorporated, let it heat up without moving it so that the rice gets a little crispy.
  • Once rice crisps up in a few areas, add your scrambled eggs and prosciutto back into the rice and mix.
  • Serve and top with remaining green onions.
