Ingredients

2 cups (400g) long-grain white rice
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp sesame oil (or to taste)
1 cup (150g) diced ham
1/2 cup (50g) sliced green onions
1/2 cup (75g) diced red bell peppers
1/2 cup (75g) diced carrots
1/2 cup (75g) green peas
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pinch of salt
3 cups (720ml) chicken broth
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp chile paste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In an 8x12-inch baking dish, combine the rice, canola oil, and sesame oil. Add the ham, green onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas, garlic, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth, soy sauce, and chile paste to a boil. Pour the mixture over the rice and stir briefly. Cover the baking dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 32 minutes. Remove and let it stand for 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C).
Step 5
Carefully remove the foil and fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Return to the oven and bake until the rice is browned and crusty on top, about 10 minutes.
