How to Make Sweet Sour Spam

  1. Spray a wok or large skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut 1 (12 ounce) can of Spam into 1/2-inch cubes. Add to the pan and sauté over medium heat until browned on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Cut 1 cup of fresh pineapple into 1/2-inch chunks. Set aside.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan. Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers (any color). Sauté until the mushrooms have released their liquid and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of cold water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
  7. Add the cooked Spam and pineapple chunks to the pan. Stir to combine and heat through.
  8. Serve the Sweet and Sour Spam over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
