Filipino Spam Fried Rice
Filipino spam fried rice is one of my childhood favorites. Easily made with few ingredients, you can have this tasty dish ready in no time.
Ingredients
- 12 oz SPAM cubed
- 4-6 cups cooked rice a day old
- 2 eggs scrambled
- ½ cup carrots cubed
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 1-3 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Put about a tablespoon of oil in a skillet on medium heat. Scramble 2 eggs in skillet. Remove and set aside once done.
- In same skillet with a bit more oil, fry the cubed SPAM with about a tablespoon or two of sugar. Fry until golden and the sugar has caramelized. Remove and set aside once done.
- Next place the cubed carrots and frozen peas and cook until softened. Once the veggies are soft, add the cold rice along with 1-3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir and fry until well combined and starts to sizzle in the pan.
- Finally, add the egg and spam. Give a final stir to combine, heat through, and remove from heat. Season to taste with either more soy sauce or salt and white pepper.
Notes
- If you want to add more veggies, do so during Step 3 with the rest of the vegetables.
- For more flavor, you can add oyster sauce or sesame oil.
- Alternatively, you can skip the sauces altogether and just season with salt and white pepper.
