- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 serrano pepper minced
- 1 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoons red onion minced
- 1/2 cup carrot minced
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Direction
- In a small bowl, combine serrano pepper through sugar. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
- In another small bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce through black pepper, set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add vegetable mixture to hot oil, stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to soften. Add eggs, tossing like you wold with scrambled eggs. When eggs are fully cooked, add ham, stirring for another minute.
- Add rice, breaking into pieces. Drizzle with sauce mixture, tossing instead of stirring (stirring will make rice mushy).
- Lastly, add pineapple and cashews, heating and tossing for only one minute before serving immediately.
