Main Bowl Ingredients- 1 can Spam (specify size if known)
- 1 bowl warm cooked rice
- Mayonnaise, to taste
- Wasabi (Japanese horseradish), a small amount (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk (for scrambled eggs)
- 1/3 Tbsp sugar (for scrambled eggs, optional)
Sweet & Savory Caramelized Onion Sauce- 1/2 medium onion
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1/2 medium onion
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the onion for the soy sauce glaze. Finely slice half of a medium onion into thin strips. Slicing them thinly is key for the glaze to penetrate well and create a tender texture.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the sliced onions, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 3 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. This creates a wonderfully flavorful sweet and savory caramelized onion sauce!
Step 3
Prepare the Spam for the rice bowl. To easily remove the Spam from the can, trim off both ends slightly. Then, slice about 7 slices of Spam to your desired thickness for topping the bowl. Set aside.
Step 4
Dice the remaining Spam into bite-sized pieces. Having both sliced and diced Spam adds interesting texture and visual appeal to the finished dish.
Step 5
Prepare the egg mixture for the scrambled eggs. Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. For extra soft and creamy scrambled eggs, whisk in 1/3 tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. (The sugar is optional.)
Step 6
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with chopsticks as it cooks, creating soft, fluffy curds. Avoid overcooking to maintain a moist texture. Once cooked, transfer the scrambled eggs to a separate bowl.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to cook the Spam. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add both the sliced and diced Spam and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become tough. The delicious aroma of the frying Spam is a good sign!
Step 8
Spoon the warm cooked rice into a serving bowl. Generously ladle the prepared soy sauce caramelized onions over the rice, ensuring the rice is well-coated. Sprinkle the diced Spam over the onions, followed by the fluffy scrambled eggs placed on top.
Step 9
Drizzle mayonnaise artfully over the scrambled eggs. Arrange the golden-brown sliced Spam pieces around the edges of the bowl for a beautiful presentation. If desired, add a small dollop of wasabi (Japanese horseradish) on the side or on top for a little kick that balances the richness. Enjoy your delicious Spam Mayo Rice Bowl!
