Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll be sharing a delicious Spam and vegetable potato stir-fry that you can whip up quickly with ingredients you likely have in your fridge.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, Korean chili pepper, and Spam for our dish. Make sure everything is clean.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Dice the onion to a similar size as the potatoes; this helps them cook at the same rate.
Step 4
Finely chop the Korean chili pepper to add a hint of spice. If you’re sensitive to heat, you can omit it or adjust the amount.
Step 5
Remove the stem and seeds from the bell pepper, then chop it into pieces similar in size to the potatoes to add vibrant color. Using different colored bell peppers, like red and yellow, will make the dish more visually appealing.
Step 6
Open the Spam can and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Shaking the can before opening can help the contents slide out more easily.
Step 7
Now, let’s prepare the seasoning for our delicious stir-fry. In a small bowl, combine 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligodang), 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
Step 8
Lightly par-boiling the potatoes before stir-frying helps them hold their shape and improves their texture. Bring a pot of water to a boil with a little salt, add the cubed potatoes, and boil for about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become mushy. Drain the boiled potatoes in a colander and set aside.
Step 9
To remove some of the excess grease and any potential ‘canned’ odor from the Spam, briefly blanch it in the same water used to boil the potatoes. Remove the Spam from the water and drain it on a colander.
Step 10
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to turn golden brown. Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the prepared Spam and continue to stir-fry them together.
Step 11
When the potatoes and Spam are nicely stir-fried, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and Korean chili pepper. Stir-fry everything together until the vegetables are slightly softened but still retain some crispness.
Step 12
Now, pour the pre-mixed seasoning sauce evenly over the ingredients in the pan. Reduce the heat to low and stir continuously to prevent the sauce from burning. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats everything evenly and the dish becomes glossy.
Step 13
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds for added nutty flavor. Give it a quick stir, and your delicious Spam and vegetable potato stir-fry is complete!
Step 14
Voila! Your vibrant and colorful Spam and vegetable potato stir-fry is ready. Doesn’t it look appetizing?
Step 15
We hope this colorful and cheerful Spam, potato, and vegetable stir-fry brings a touch of spring to your table! Enjoy your meal!
