Main Ingredients
- 1 Bell Pepper (choose any color you like)
- 1 Onion (medium size)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 can Spam (340g)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 4 bowls Cooked Rice (warm is best)
- 4 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the bell pepper thoroughly, remove the seeds, and finely dice it into pieces about 0.5cm in size. Using a variety of colors like red, yellow, and orange will make your fried rice visually stunning.
Step 2
Peel the onion, then dice it finely into similar-sized pieces as the bell pepper, about 0.5cm, and set aside.
Step 3
For perfect fried rice, fluffy individual grains are key. Take your 4 bowls of cooked rice and let them cool slightly. Chilled rice also works wonderfully.
Step 4
Dice the Spam into small cubes, about 0.5cm, similar in size to the other ingredients. This ensures everything cooks evenly.
Step 5
In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 6
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just cooked through. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set them aside. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become dry.
Step 7
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the same pan. Add the minced onion and minced garlic, and stir-fry over high heat for about 1 minute until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant. This builds a great aromatic base.
Step 8
Once the onions are fragrant, add the diced Spam and diced bell peppers. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for about 1-2 minutes. The goal here is to keep the bell peppers nice and crisp.
Step 9
Push the ingredients to one side of the pan. Pour the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce into the empty space. Let it sizzle for a few seconds to develop a ‘wok hei’ or smoky flavor, then mix everything together well.
Step 10
Add 0.5 tablespoon of sugar to the mixture. This balances the savory flavors and adds a hint of sweetness. Stir well to combine.
Step 11
Now it’s time for the rice! Turn off the heat temporarily. Add the 4 bowls of rice and 2.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Initially, place the oyster sauce on top of the rice without mixing, allowing it to warm up.
Step 12
Add the reserved scrambled eggs back into the pan. Gently toss everything together to combine the ingredients with the rice. Once mixed, turn the heat back on to medium and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the rice grains are separated and fluffy.
Step 13
Once the fried rice is cooked through and the grains are fluffy, turn off the heat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the top and sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper for extra aroma. Give it one final, gentle stir to combine everything beautifully.
Step 14
Congratulations! Your vibrant ‘Golden Spam, Egg, and Bell Pepper Fried Rice’ is ready. Enjoy the delicious combination of savory Spam, crisp bell peppers, and fluffy rice!
