Essential Ingredients- 1 can Spam (approx. 200g)
- 1 egg
- 3 bowls of freshly cooked rice (warm rice)
- 2 stalks green onion or scallions
Additional Vegetables (Optional)- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 carrot
- 1 broccoli stem (or 1/4 head of broccoli)
- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 carrot
- 1 broccoli stem (or 1/4 head of broccoli)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the fresh ingredients that will make your fried rice delicious. Dice the Spam into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm cubes). Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl. Ensure the rice is warm; this prevents clumping and helps it stir-fry evenly. Chop the green onions or scallions for garnish.
Step 2
Finely mince all the vegetables you’ll be stir-frying (onion, carrot, broccoli stem, etc.). Mincing them small ensures they mix well into the fried rice and are more palatable, especially for children. For the broccoli stem, peel off the tough outer layer and use only the tender inner part for a softer texture.
Step 3
Lightly oil a pan over medium heat and fry the diced Spam until golden brown. Spam releases its own fat, so you don’t need a lot of cooking oil. Once the Spam is nicely browned, set it aside in a bowl. In the same pan, pour the beaten egg and scramble it by stirring constantly until cooked through. Once the scrambled eggs are formed into soft curds, remove them from the pan to be added back later.
Step 4
Now, let’s stir-fry the vegetables. Add a little more cooking oil to the pan used for the Spam. Add the minced onion, carrot, and broccoli stem, and stir-fry over medium heat until they become translucent. The natural sweetness from the vegetables will enhance the flavor of the fried rice.
Step 5
Once the vegetables are slightly tender, add the reserved Spam back into the pan and stir-fry together. Increase the heat slightly, then pour the soy sauce (1 Tbsp) along the edge of the pan. Stir-fry to coat the Spam and vegetables with the sauce, allowing the soy sauce to caramelize slightly. Be careful not to burn it!
Step 6
Push the ingredients to one side of the pan and add the warm rice (3 bowls) to the empty space. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry it with the Spam and vegetables until everything is well combined. Continue stir-frying until each grain of rice is coated with the seasonings.
Step 7
Finally, add the cooked scrambled eggs and the chopped green onions (or scallions) to the pan. Give it a final quick stir to combine everything. The fresh aroma of the green onions will further elevate the taste of the fried rice. Turn off the heat once all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 8
Your delicious, fluffy Spam and Egg Fried Rice is now ready! It’s best enjoyed hot. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some crumbled seaweed (gim) or sesame seeds on top. Enjoy this satisfying meal that the whole family will love!
