🙋 Recommended for

  • People who want to use up leftover canned ham in a creative and tasty way
  • Those looking for a flavorful, sweet-savory-spicy alternative to traditional rice rolls with more ingredients

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • canned ham 1 can
  • green chili peppers 4
  • light soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 0.5 tablespoon
  • rice 2 bowls
  • sesame oil to taste
  • rice roll seaweed sheets 4
  • mayonnaise a little
  • black sesame seeds a little
  • vegetable oil a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Place the canned ham in a plastic bag or crush it by hand into small pieces. Finely chop 4 green chili peppers, including the seeds.
  2. Heat a pan with a very small amount of vegetable oil, then add the crushed ham and stir-fry until crumbly and dry.
  3. When the ham turns golden brown, add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce and 0.5 tablespoon of sugar, stirring well to evenly distribute the seasoning. Turn off the heat completely.
  4. Add the chopped green chili peppers to the pan and toss using residual heat to preserve their crisp texture and spicy aroma.
  5. Mix the cooked chili-ham mixture and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil into 2 bowls of cooled, warm rice, gently tossing so the grains don’t break.
  6. Spread the seasoned rice evenly and thinly onto a rice roll seaweed sheet, then roll tightly.
  7. Brush the outside of the roll with sesame oil, slice into bite-sized pieces, and serve with black sesame seeds and a side of mayonnaise.
  1. Stir-fry the crushed ham, season with soy sauce and sugar, turn off the heat, then mix in the chopped green chili peppers.
  2. Mix the cooked chili-ham mixture and sesame oil into cooled rice, tossing gently to combine.
  3. Spread rice on seaweed, roll tightly, brush with sesame oil, slice, and serve with mayonnaise.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Green chili peppers lose their crisp texture and spiciness if overcooked, so always use residual heat to mix them in after turning off the stove.
  • Dipping the finished rice rolls in rich mayonnaise helps mellow the spicy kick of the green chilies.
