Spam Broth Fried Rice: Rich & Flavorful Recipe
A Special Fried Rice Made with Spam-Infused Broth
This isn’t just any fried rice! We’re using the savory broth from boiling Spam to infuse every grain of rice with its rich, umami flavor. Enjoy a satisfying meal that’s both simple and deeply delicious.
Main Ingredients- 380g warm cooked rice (approx. 1.5 bowls)
- 120g Spam (about 1/3 can)
- 2 fresh eggs
- 100g water (1/2 cup)
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- A small amount of shredded or flaked seaweed (Gim)
- 30g cooking oil (2 Tbsp)
- 15g mayonnaise (1 Tbsp)
- 10g teriyaki sauce (2 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the Spam. Cut the Spam into approximately 1cm x 1cm cubes. This size is good for chewing. Cutting them too small might reduce the textural enjoyment.
Step 2
Now, let’s make a flavorful broth from the Spam! Place the cubed Spam and 100g of cold water into a frying pan. Bring it to a boil over high heat from the start. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the delicious essence of the Spam to infuse into the water. This step significantly enhances the fried rice’s overall flavor profile.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, crack in 2 fresh eggs. You don’t need to whisk them separately; we’ll mix them directly with the rice.
Step 4
Time to prepare the rice. Add the 380g of warm cooked rice to the bowl with the eggs. Now, add the cooked Spam cubes and all of the Spam-infused broth you made in step 1.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently mix the rice, eggs, Spam, and broth together. It’s important to mix softly to avoid clumping the rice. Ensure that each grain of rice is evenly coated with the savory and nutty flavor of the Spam and the umami from the broth. This step is crucial for the final taste of your fried rice.
Step 6
Now, let’s stir-fry the rice to perfection! Heat 30g of cooking oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the seasoned rice and stir-fry. Continue to stir-fry until the rice grains start to sizzle and the moisture evaporates, which prevents them from clumping and results in fluffy grains. Frying until the outside is slightly crispy and golden brown will add a delightful texture with every bite.
Step 7
Transfer the delicious fried rice to a serving plate. Drizzle 15g of mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern for a creamy touch, and then add 10g of teriyaki sauce for a sweet and savory flavor boost.
Step 8
Finally, garnish with a handful of shredded or flaked seaweed (Gim). Your simple yet deeply flavorful Spam fried rice is now ready. Enjoy your meal!
