1 small green cabbage (about 1 lb) coarsely chopped
1 box (7 oz) yellow rice mix with seasoning packet
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
3 medium scallions, sliced (reserve sliced green tops)
3 oz. lean ham, cut into 1/2 inch chunks (1 3/4 cups)

In a large deep nonstick skillet, mix 2 cups water, cabbage, rice, seasoning packet, red bell pepper and white part of sliced scallions. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes.

Stir in ham, cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes longer until liquid is absorbed and rice and vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with the remaining scallion tops.

Note: Chicken can be used in place of ham.
