Ingredients for Absolutely The Best Spam Fried Rice

  • 4 1/2 cups cooked and cooled rice (approximately 12 cups uncooked long-grain rice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • Spam Lite
  • Yellow Onion
  • Frozen Peas And Carrots
  • Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Oyster Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

How to Make Absolutely The Best Spam Fried Rice

  1. Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Scramble 2 large eggs until cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside.
  2. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 (12 ounce) can Spam, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Sauté until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Kikkoman soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add to the wok and bring to a simmer, cooking until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gently add 4 1/2 cups cooked and cooled rice (about 12 cups uncooked long-grain rice) and the scrambled eggs to the wok. Break up any rice clumps and stir until the rice is evenly coated and heated through, about 5 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
