I first made this gammon and pineapple rice bowls recipe back in January 2018 when it appeared in the Co-op magazine. I've been looking online for recipe ideas for using up leftover festive gammon and remembered about this one.
I've taken inspiration from the original recipe to make my own version. It's a speedy rice dish that's ready in under 30 minutes and is perfect for using up leftover festive gammon, and for celebrating Chinese New Year.
Ham and pineapple as pizza toppings can cause quite a bit of debate, but the combination is perfect in this dish. Along with tender broccoli, peas and a subtle chinese five spice flavour, it's an incredibly moreish bowl of food!
Tip
