Spam Fried Rice
This quick Spam fried rice is a comforting and kid-friendly dish that's easy to whip up in about 30 minutes using pantry staples.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old) Short or long-grain both work.
- 1 can Spam, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 cup carrots, diced (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce Adjust to taste.
- 2 tablespoons butter (or neutral oil)
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add the diced Spam in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges are nicely browned — about 5–7 minutes.
- Push the Spam to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty space and scramble them gently until just set. Mix the eggs with the Spam.
- Add the cooked rice, green peas, carrots, and corn. Break up any rice clumps with the back of a spoon.
- Pour the soy sauce evenly over the mixture. Stir thoroughly so the rice absorbs the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the rice has a little toasted color.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months. Reheat using a skillet for best results.
