3 to 4 Tbsp. bacon grease or cooking oil (bacon grease is best)
1 to 1 ½ cups diced ham
5 green onions, chopped
2 cups uncooked rice
3 cups water
2 eggs, beaten
Soy sauce
Cook rice in 3 cups water. Heat grease or oil in large skillet. Fry ham in hot grease. Move it over to the edges of the skillet. Add ½ of the green onions and saute. Move them over to the edge of the skillet with the ham. Add beaten eggs and cut up as they get done. Mix with ham and green onions in skillet. Add rice and the remainder of the green onions. Add soy sauce to suit your taste. Mix all ingredients well and cook for a few more minutes.
If desired, you can also add mushrooms, finely sliced carrots, frozen green peas, etc. Just put them in the skillet and saute a little bit before you add the rice.
