Spam Fried Rice
Whenever I’m craving something quick and packed with flavor, I always turn to Spam Fried Rice. It’s super easy to make and hits all the right notes for a savory meal.
Ingredients
- 3 cups of rice
- ½ spam cubed
- 5 eggs whisked
- 10 oz vegetables
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sweet soy glaze
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil
Garnishing
- Fresh parsley
- Black pepper
- Red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- If you don’t have day-old leftover rice, start by cooking the rice and set it aside to cool. This ensures your fried rice doesn’t end up mushy.
- In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, lay out a thin layer of whisked eggs, treating it more like a crepe than a scrambled egg. Allow it to cook until it forms a delicate, golden crepe. Repeat the process, creating multiple layers of egg crepes.
- Once you have several layers, gently stack them, and then slice them into square pieces. Cooking the egg like this will add a unique texture and look to your Spam Fried Rice.
- In the same skillet or wok, add 2 tbsp neutral oil, and cook the spam over medium heat until it turns golden brown and crispy. Set the spam aside.
- Add the cooled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps, and stir for 4-6 minutes.
- Add the cooked spam, eggs, and vegetables, and mix well.
- Pour the sweet soy glaze over the rice and continue to stir-fry until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Season to taste with salt and sugar.
- Garnish with black pepper, red chili flakes, and fresh parsley.
