Ingredients- 4 slices Spam (approx. 200g, half a can)
- 1 bowl warm cooked rice
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp corn syrup (or sugar)
- 4 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (or mirin)
- A little cooking oil
- A pinch of parsley flakes for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the main ingredient, Spam. Slice the Spam into 4 generous pieces, about 0.8cm thick. Peel the onion, rinse it under running water, and then thinly slice it into strips about 0.5cm wide.
Step 2
Place the sliced Spam in a heated pan without adding any oil. The Spam itself will release enough fat to fry without extra oil. Flip the slices and cook until they are golden brown and look appetizing. Grilling the Spam this way enhances its flavor.
Step 3
In the same pan used for the Spam, add just a tiny bit of oil, or wipe out excess grease with a paper towel. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent. Once the onions start to turn clear, add 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp corn syrup (or sugar), 4 Tbsp water, and 1 Tbsp cooking wine (or mirin). Mix well to create the sauce.
Step 4
Once the sauce begins to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. In a small bowl, beat the egg until well combined. Gently pour the beaten egg over the simmering sauce. Stir gently with chopsticks or a spoon as it cooks. This will create a soft, sweet, and savory delicious donburi sauce! Serve the warm rice in a bowl, generously spoon the sauce over it, and then arrange the grilled Spam slices on top for a visually appealing donburi.
Step 5
This is the final touch. For a more colorful and appealing presentation, you can garnish with a few strawberry slices from your fridge. The combination of refreshing strawberries and savory Spam is surprisingly good! Sprinkle some parsley flakes on top to enhance the flavor and visual appeal. My daughter, who was hungry, exclaimed ‘Delicious!’ and finished this Spam Donburi in the blink of an eye! This simple yet incredibly flavorful dish is a must-try. Enjoy your meal!
