Main Ingredients- 1 can (small size) Spam
- 1/2 bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 green bell pepper
Seasoning- Oyster sauce, to taste (about 1/2 Tbsp)
- Sugar, to taste (about 1/2 tsp)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Oyster sauce, to taste (about 1/2 Tbsp)
- Sugar, to taste (about 1/2 tsp)
- Toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Thickly julienne the bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into strips about 0.7 cm thick. Make sure to remove the seeds from the bell peppers.
Step 2
Slice the Spam into about 0.7 cm thick pieces, then cut them into strips similar in length to the julienned vegetables. Handle the Spam gently when removing it from the can to keep its shape.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced Spam and stir-fry until it’s golden brown and slightly crispy. The Spam will release its own oil, so you don’t need to add much. Once nicely browned, transfer the Spam to a separate plate.
Step 4
Using the same pan (no need to add more oil), add the julienned onion and stir-fry until it becomes translucent. The onion will release its natural sweetness, adding depth to the dish.
Step 5
Return the cooked Spam to the pan. Add the julienned green bell pepper and bell pepper. Pour in the oyster sauce and sugar. Stir-fry over high heat for about 1-2 minutes, just until the vegetables are tender-crisp and everything is well combined. Avoid overcooking, so the vegetables retain a slight crunch.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it one last quick toss. Your delicious Spam and Vegetable Stir-Fry is ready to be served! It’s wonderful over a bowl of hot rice or as a flavorful side dish.
