Equipment
- 1 Wok
Ingredients
- 1 Can Spam
- 3 Cups Long-grain Jasmine Rice Cooked
- 1 Stalk Green Onions
- 1 tsp Light soy sauce
- 1 tsp White granulated sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- Pinch Table salt to season fried rice
- 1 tsp Table salt Added to eggs when whisking
- 1-2 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 1/2 tsp White pepper
Instructions
- Start by slicing your spam into small cubes about an inch wide. Once done set this aside.
- Grab your scallions and slice them into small pieces about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and set them aside.
- Now crack your eggs into a bowl, season your eggs with some table salt and white pepper and then whisk everything well together and set it aside.
- Now heat up a wok over medium heat. Once the wok is hot enough, add in about a Tbsp of oil to the wok.
- Then add in your cut spam from earlier. Cook the spam for about a minute then add in your soy sauce and sugar to caramelize the spam.
- Cook the spam until it has turned into a golden brown colour on all sides and you can smell how aromatic it has become.
- Once the spam has turned golden brown, remove it from the wok then add in about another Tbsp or so of cooking oil to the wok.
- Heat up the oil and then add in your eggs, followed immediately by the rice. You can just dump the rice right on top of the eggs.
- Mix everything well together, making sure to scoop underneath the eggs and bring it on top of the rice rather than trying to break the eggs apart. It should look like a scooping up and down motion.
- You’ll notice as you do this that the rice will start to become coated with the eggs and turn yellow, and you’ll start to have little flakes of eggs in the wok.
- Now press the rice down into the wok to flatten it with your spatula and to quickly heat up the rice.
- Now add in a pinch of salt to the rice and eggs and mix everything well together.
- Finally add back in your spam that you cooked earlier to the rice and mix everything well together.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and continue stir-frying all of the ingredients together for a few minutes until you start to see the rice getting dry and losing its moisture.
- Now it’s very important to taste your fried rice with the spam and adjust it based on your own preferences. Make sure when tasting it that you actually spoon up some pieces of spam as well, otherwise you might think that the fried rice is too bland and end up adding way too much salt only to later realize that the spam is already salty.
- When you start to see the rice jump up, add in your green onions.
- Give everything a quick few tosses and then remove everything from the stove and serve while hot.
