Essential Ingredients- 1/2 can Spam (approx. 200g)
- 1 serving freshly cooked white rice
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- 1/4 yellow bell pepper
- 1/4 red bell pepper
- 1/4 orange bell pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare and chop the fresh vegetables: First, wash the scallions thoroughly and pat them dry. Then, chop them into pieces about 1cm in length. The fragrant scallions will enhance the flavor of the fried rice. For the bell peppers, remove the seeds and core, then dice them into cubes about 0.7cm in size. The colorful bell peppers will add vibrancy and a satisfying crunch to your fried rice. If you like a bit of heat, feel free to finely mince some chili peppers or red chilies to add at this stage.
Step 2
2. Dice the Spam into bite-sized pieces: You can use your preferred type of Spam – regular, low-sodium, or even one with added flavors. Since it shrinks slightly when cooked, dice it into generous cubes of about 1cm. This will ensure you get a good bite of Spam in every mouthful.
Step 3
3. Heat the pan and sauté the scallions to release their aroma: Now it’s time to make the fried rice. Heat a frying pan over high heat for about 3 minutes until thoroughly hot. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the heated pan, then add the chopped scallions and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Sautéing the scallions well to release their aroma is key to delicious fried rice!
Step 4
4. Sear the Spam until golden brown: Once the scallion aroma is strong, add the diced Spam. Maintain a heat between medium and high, and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the Spam is nicely browned on all sides. Searing the Spam develops a richer, more savory flavor.
Step 5
5. Add the rice and bell peppers and stir-fry: Add the freshly cooked white rice and the colorful diced bell peppers to the pan with the seared Spam. Stir-fry everything together. The moisture released from the bell peppers will help prevent the rice from clumping, making it easier to stir-fry. If the rice seems too sticky or the ingredients aren’t mixing well, add about 2-3 tablespoons of cooking wine or water to help loosen the rice grains and make stir-frying easier.
Step 6
6. Season to perfection: It’s time to season the fried rice! Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir-fry quickly to combine all the ingredients evenly. Taste the rice and adjust the seasoning with more oyster sauce or salt according to your preference.
Step 7
7. Finish with fragrant sesame oil: Just before turning off the heat, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the fried rice and stir to coat. The aromatic sesame oil will elevate the overall flavor of your dish.
Step 8
8. Serve with a fried egg for a complete meal: If desired, top the fried rice with a perfectly fried egg. Sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top, and voilà! Your fail-proof, delicious Spam fried rice is ready to be enjoyed!
Step 9
Breaking the runny yolk and mixing it into the rice is pure bliss! The savory Spam combined with the crisp bell peppers creates an irresistible texture and flavor. This simple yet universally loved Spam fried rice makes a wonderful dinner option. Why not try making it today?
