Ingredients

Spam Garlic Fried Rice

  • 1½ cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 12 ounces Spam (1 can) diced
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 whole garlic head peeled and chopped
  • ¾ cup green onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili sesame oil plus more for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • pepper to taste
  • olive oil

Vinegar Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • hot sauce to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large sauté pan or electric skillet, brown the Spam for 7-9 minutes over medium heat. Remove from pan and set aside in a large bowl.
  • Scramble the eggs in the same sauté pan. Once cooked, remove from pan and put in the large bowl with the Spam.
  • Add some olive oil to the sauté pan and add in the chopped garlic. Cook the garlic in the olive oil until slightly browned.
  • Toss the cooked rice in the sauté pan with the garlic over medium low heat. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chili sesame oil, oyster sauce, and pepper to the rice. Mix until the rice is evenly coated with the seasoning. The rice will turn to a light brown color once evenly mixed. Season with additional chili sesame oil if needed and mix well.
  • Toss the green onion with the rice and mix well. Cover the pan over low heat for 5 minutes. Prepare the vinegar sauce during this time.
  • In a sauce cup, mix the vinegar, minced garlic, pepper to taste, and hot sauce to taste. Serve on the side of the spam garlic fried rice. Enjoy!
