While buying it is convenient, making it at home is also surprisingly simple and quick! Today, I’m sharing my golden recipe that anyone can easily follow! Get ready for a delicious Spam meal.
Main Ingredients- 1/2 can Spam (approx. 200g)
- 2 bowls cooked rice
- 1 onion
- 3 eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 1 Tbsp mirin (cooking sake)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- A dash of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Spam. You can use leftover Spam pieces from stews or a whole can. Using leftover Spam makes the dish even more economical.
Step 2
Cut the Spam into bite-sized pieces as you like. Slicing it about 1cm thick provides a nice texture when cooked.
Step 3
Peel and wash the onion thoroughly, then slice it thinly into strips. Slicing it this way helps it cook down softly and add flavor when sautéed with the sauce.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the star of the Spam & Mayo Rice Bowl: the sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp mirin, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, and a dash of black pepper. Mix well. This creates a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Step 5
Lightly oil a frying pan and preheat it over medium heat. The pan heats up better when preheated, leading to better cooking results.
Step 6
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt for seasoning, and beat them well. Pour the beaten eggs into the preheated pan and cook over low heat to make scrambled eggs. Be careful not to cook on high heat, as it can burn.
Step 7
Next, add the sliced Spam to the pan and stir-fry. Spam releases a lot of its own fat, so you don’t need to add extra cooking oil. Stir-fry over medium heat until golden brown. Cooking on too high heat can burn the Spam, so maintaining medium heat is recommended.
Step 8
In a separate frying pan, add 1 Tbsp of cooking oil, the sliced onions, and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onions become translucent. When onions become translucent, their sweetness is enhanced.
Step 9
Once the onions are translucent, pour the prepared sauce into the pan and stir-fry them together, allowing the sauce to reduce and coat the onions. Ensure the sauce coats the onions evenly.
Step 10
Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well absorbed into the onions, creating a delicious glazed onion topping. Adjust the heat as needed.
Step 11
Now, place the warm rice into a bowl and generously top it with the glazed onions. This forms a hearty base for your meal.
Step 12
Next, add the fluffy scrambled eggs, and then place the golden-brown Spam in the center. The colors are beautiful, and the taste is sure to be amazing.
Step 13
Finally, it’s time to drizzle the mayonnaise! Cover the opening of the mayonnaise bottle with a plastic wrap, secure it tightly with a rubber band, and then poke a very small hole in the plastic wrap. This will allow you to drizzle a thin, elegant line of mayonnaise, almost like an artist!
Step 14
Drizzle the mayonnaise in a thin, zig-zag pattern over the Spam, eggs, and rice. Your visually appealing and incredibly delicious Spam & Mayo Rice Bowl is complete! Enjoy your meal.
