Hawaiian Fried Rice

3 tablespoons GF soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Sriracha), more or less to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups cooked, chopped ham
1 red bell pepper, chopped
6 green onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
5 cups cooked rice, white or brown, cold
3 large eggs
2 cups pineapple pieces

1. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and hot sauce. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add the ham and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and the red pepper is tender (but not mushy), about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook another minute. Scrape the mixture onto a plate and set aside.
2. Heat another teaspoon of oil in the skillet. Add the cold rice and cook, breaking up large clumps, until the rice is heated through, 5-6 minutes.
3. Push the rice to one side of the skillet and heat the last teaspoon of oil on the empty side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the hot oil and stir lightly with a spatula or wooden spoon, cooking until the eggs are lightly scrambled and set. Stir the eggs and the ham mixture into the rice. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the rice and cook, stirring, until thoroughly combined and hot.
4. Remove from heat, stir in the pineapple and green onions. Serve immediately.
