- Soy Sauce 4 Tbsp
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) 2 Tbsp
- Gochugaru (Korean chili powder) 2 Tbsp
- Sugar 1 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide 2 Tbsp (for shine and sweetness!)
- Garlic Powder 1/2 Tbsp

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan. Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry over low heat to create fragrant green onion oil. Once the aroma is released, add the spam cut into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry until lightly browned to enhance its flavor.
Step 2
Push the fried spam to one side of the pan. Add the shredded onion, chunked cabbage, and half-moon sliced zucchini. Stir-fry over high heat for a short time to maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables.
Step 3
Now, add all the pre-mixed sauce ingredients (Soy Sauce 4 Tbsp, Gochujang 2 Tbsp, Gochugaru 2 Tbsp, Sugar 1 Tbsp, Oligosaccharide 2 Tbsp, Garlic Powder 1/2 Tbsp, Ginger Powder 1/2 Tbsp, Curry Powder 1/2 Tbsp, Cooking Wine 2 Tbsp) to the pan. Stir-fry quickly to evenly coat the vegetables and spam. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 4
Once the sauce begins to thicken slightly, add the sundae cut into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry together. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat as the sundae cooks and absorbs the sauce.
Step 5
When the sundae is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to a nice consistency, add the perilla leaves, washed and cut into manageable pieces. Stir-fry briefly, just enough to wilt them and release their fragrant aroma. Avoid overcooking, as it can make the perilla leaves mushy.
Step 6
Finally, turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of perilla oil for an extra nutty aroma. Sprinkle with 1/2 Tbsp of sesame seeds for a visually appealing finish. This delicious Spam and Sundae Stir-fry is now ready! It’s perfect as a side dish with rice or as a delightful appetizer.
