Cook rice in salted water. Dice the onion, ham, and carrots and fry briefly in oil with the stir-fried vegetables. Set aside 5 heaped tablespoons of the cooked rice. Add the remaining rice to the pan and fry for about 10 minutes, seasoning well with salt, pepper, paprika, and Chinese spices. Whisk 2 eggs and 1 egg white, add, and fry briefly. Mix in a diced bell pepper and the remaining rice and fill a greased Bundt pan, pressing down firmly. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes; the rice should be lightly browned. Turn the rice out of the pan onto a baking sheet and brush with a mixture of egg yolk and milk. Place the cheese on top of the rice and return to the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve with small meatballs and tomato sauce, sweet and sour Chinese chicken, or a salad.
