Main Ingredients- 1/2 can Spam (approx. 75g)
- 1/2 potato (approx. 65g)
- 50g carrot
- 1/2 onion (approx. 50g)
- 1 egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the egg into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to gently beat the egg, ensuring the yolk and white are well combined. Don’t add any seasoning at this stage. This egg mixture will add a lovely tenderness to your fried rice.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the main ingredients. Dice the Spam into bite-sized cubes. Finely mince the potato, carrot, and onion. Aim for a uniform, small dice so all the ingredients cook evenly and blend well with the rice. Smaller pieces will ensure they soften nicely during stir-frying.
Step 3
Time to stir-fry! Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add all the minced ingredients (Spam, potato, carrot, and onion) to the pan. Stir-fry until the ingredients are golden brown and cooked through. The Spam will render its own fat, so you might not need a lot of additional oil.
Step 4
Once the ingredients are nicely cooked, add the warm cooked rice, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of doubanjiang. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and gently stir everything together, ensuring the sauce and ingredients are evenly distributed. You can adjust the amount of doubanjiang and oyster sauce to your preference. For an extra kick, consider adding a little chili paste.
Step 5
After the rice and ingredients are well combined and stir-fried, carefully pour the beaten egg mixture around the edges of the pan. As the egg begins to set, quickly stir and mix it into the rice. This will coat the grains, making the fried rice moist and wonderfully tender. Finally, sprinkle with a pinch of sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. Your delicious Spam and Potato Fried Rice is ready to enjoy!
