# How to Make It:

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot sauce. Stir well and set aside.

Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced red bell pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until just tender. Add ham and white parts of green onions; cook, stirring, until ham is lightly browned. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.

Add remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Once hot, add cold, cooked rice. Stir and break up any clumps. Cook, stirring, until rice is thoroughly heated, about 8 minutes.

Push rice to one side of the skillet. Crack eggs onto the empty side and gently scramble until just set.

Stir scrambled eggs and reserved ham mixture into the rice. Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until evenly combined and heated through. Remove from heat, then fold in pineapple pieces and green parts of green onions.

Use day-old cold rice to ensure the grains remain distinct and do not become mushy during stir-frying.
