Please note that this recipe is not AIP, however, I'm looking forward to making it changing the recipe to make it compliant.

It’s springtime, which means glazed ham. It’s the traditional springtime meal. If you’re like me then you will be eating it almost every weekend until Easter. Do I sound like I’m complaining? Well, I love ham but eating it for a month can get a little boring which is where this recipe comes in handy. Just add a little bit of kimchi to leftover rice and ham and you’ve got a completely different meal. The ham will be unrecognizable in my Kimchi Fried Rice.
Glazed ham works better than just plain ham. The sweetness tempers the spiciness, but make no mistake, this dish is deliciously spicy.
This dish can be pulled together really quickly which is great because that means that is can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Seriously, doesn't this look like the best breakfast ever?!
If you're allergy friendly, meaning you avoid the top 8 food allergens, then just omit the egg. Fried rice usually means that there is egg in the dish but since the egg is prepared separately then it's easily adapted without sacrificing flavor. Please note that if you have an allergy or sensitivity to sesame seed (which is in the top 10 food allergens), make sure that the seaweed doesn't contain sesame oil. It's a really common ingredient but you can find seaweed without it.
