Servings: 4
Equipment
- Skillet Large Nonstick
Ingredients
- 1 Can Spam 12-Ounce, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 4 Cups cooked rice chilled for at least 4 hours
- 4 eggs beaten
- 2 Cups frozen peas and carrots thawed
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 5 Cloves garlic minced
- ½ Teaspoon white pepper
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 green onions sliced
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a big nonstick skillet over a low heat. Once hot, add the eggs and scramble them for 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Turn up the heat to medium high. Add the spam to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until it begins to crisp up around the edges. Make sure you stir it occasionally for even heating. Transfer to a bowl and set to one side.
- Next add the diced onions and sauté until almost translucent, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute or until fragrant. Make sure to stir often so it won’t burn.
- Now add the thawed peas and carrots and cook just until warmed through, 1 or 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice, spam, eggs, and the green onion slices to the skillet and toss everything together until evenly distributed.
- Drizzle everything with sesame oil and soy sauce and season with white pepper. Toss once more to combine.
- Serve, garnished with sesame seeds.
Notes
Use chilled rice: Freshly cooked rice doesn't work for spam fried rice, so make sure you have enough cooked rice in the refrigerator.
Stir often: Stir fries need frequent stirring so the ingredients don't stick to the wok or skillet and burn.
Toast the sesame seeds: Cook them in a dry skillet, shaking often, until golden brown and aromatic, to add a richer flavor.
