How to Make Island Spam

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced Spam, 1/2 cup diced onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until Spam is lightly browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 2 cups cooked rice, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1/4 cup soy sauce.
  3. Add 1/4 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional) for a touch of heat.
