- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp fish sauce ((Note 3))
- 2 tsp soy sauce ((all purpose or light, not dark soy, Note 4))
- 1/4 tsp white sugar
- 2 eggs (, whisked)
Steps

Add ham, stir for 30 seconds.
-
Add peas, stir for 30 seconds.

Rice and tomato paste - Add rice and tomato paste, cook for 2 minutes.

Sauces - Add fish sauce, soy and sugar, cook 1 minute to get a bit of nice caramelisation on the tomatoey rice.
