Savory Spam and Pea Rice Balls
Easy Rice Cooker Spam and Pea Rice Balls (An Addictive Rice Thief!)
Make rice balls by cooking rice with Spam. Enjoy a satisfying meal with these delicious rice balls, featuring the irresistible combination of savory Spam and sweet peas.
Main Ingredients- 45g rice (approx. 1/3 cup)
- 80g Spam (1/4 can)
- 45g peas (cooked or frozen)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse 45g of rice (about 1/3 cup) and place it in your rice cooker. Add slightly less water than you normally would for fluffy rice, as this will help the rice balls hold their shape better. (Using too much water can make the rice sticky and difficult to form.) Add 45g of rinsed peas to the rice cooker as well.
Step 2
Dice the 80g of Spam into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1cm in size. Open the can and carefully cut the Spam into uniform pieces.
Step 3
Scatter the diced Spam over the rice and peas in the rice cooker. Close the lid and start the cooking cycle. The Spam will infuse the rice with its delicious savory flavor.
Step 4
Once the rice is cooked, gently mix the rice, Spam, and peas together in the rice cooker. Then, stir in 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 pinch of salt to season. Taste and add another pinch of salt if you find it a little bland. Feel free to adjust the soy sauce and sugar quantities to your preference.
Step 5
Thoroughly mix the seasoning ingredients into the rice, Spam, and peas. Stir well until each grain of rice is coated with the seasoning, ensuring even flavor distribution for the best taste.
Step 6
Let the rice cool down slightly until it’s warm to the touch. Wearing disposable gloves, scoop a portion of the rice mixture and shape it into a round rice ball. You can adjust the size to your liking. Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top. Your delicious Spam and Pea Rice Balls are ready to be enjoyed!
