- 170 grams Spam About half of spam tin, cut into small cubes
- ½ Onion Cut small dices
- 1-2 cloves Garlic Finely chopped
- 2-3 Spring onions Cut thin slices
- 50 grams Sweetcorn Frozen or tinned
- 50 grams Green peas
- 2 Eggs Whisked with pinch of salt & pepper
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil Vegetable or neutral flavour oil
Seasoning Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Regular soy sauce Or light soy sauce
- 1 tsp Chicken powder Or chicken bouillion, or msg
- 1 tsp Sesame oil toasted sesame oil
- ½ tsp White pepper Or black pepper
Instructions
- First, cut the spam into small even cubes, prepare the vegetables and set them aside.
- Heat the large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle oil and saute the spam for 1-2 minutes until slightly brown.
- Then add the chopped garlic and onion and stir fry for a few seconds until fragrant. Follow with the sweet corn, carrot, and green peas.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the whisked egg. Once the egg is set at the bottom, break it into small pieces.
- Next, add the cooked rice and season the dish with soy sauce, chicken powder, and white pepper. Combine everything well and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes.
- Drizzle sesame oil and sprinkle spring onions. Make a final quick toss, turn off the heat and enjoy!
Notes
- Use cold refrigerated rice, which is less moist and is harder than freshly cooked rice.
- Spam substitute: Chinese lap cheong, Italian sausage, Turkish sausage, chorizo, frankfurters, etc.
- There is also halal spam or luncheon meat made from chicken or turkey. For vegetarians, vegan meat-free spam is a great option.
- Personalize your spam fried rice with your favourite veggies.
- Add a drizzle of crispy chilli oil, Lao Gan Ma chilli oil, or Sriracha sauce for a kick of heat.
- You can also make Hawaiian-style spam fried rice by adding pineapple chucks.
