Main Ingredients

- 1 handful green onions (chopped)
- 1 egg (optional, but delicious on the side)
- 1-2 bowls cooked rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making the Spam Kimchi Fried Rice that the whole family loves. It’s a simple yet guaranteed-to-be-delicious recipe!
Step 2
First, heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté until fragrant, creating scallion oil. Once the scallion oil is well infused, add the chopped kimchi and 1 tablespoon of red pepper powder. Stir-fry the kimchi until it’s evenly coated with the oil and red pepper powder, giving it a glossy and appetizing appearance. When the kimchi is cooked to your liking, add the sliced Spam and continue to stir-fry together until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Once the kimchi and Spam are well stir-fried, push the mixture to one side of the pan. Pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the empty space. When the soy sauce starts to bubble and slightly caramelize at the edges, this is the key to adding depth of flavor! Quickly mix the caramelized soy sauce with the kimchi and Spam mixture, stir-frying everything together. The soy sauce will caramelize, adding a richer umami taste. Add the cooked rice and gently stir with a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice grains. It’s important to ensure each grain of rice is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Finally, garnish with a pinch of sesame seeds, and if you like, serve with a fried egg on top. Your delicious Spam Kimchi Fried Rice is ready! Enjoy a satisfying and flavorful meal with the wonderful combination of kimchi and Spam!
