Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 2 ½ cups (463 g) day old white rice
  • 2 cans low sodium SPAM
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) butter divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup (165 g) frozen corn thawed
  • 1 cup (140 g) frozen peas and carrots mix thawed
  • ½ cup (118 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Reheat your leftover rice in the microwave for 2 minutes to warm it through so it's easy to break up in the wok. Set aside.
    2 1/2 cups day old white rice
  • Remove SPAM from cans and slice them into ½ inch thick slices.
    2 cans low sodium SPAM
  • In a pan with light oil and 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce, pan fry the SPAM slices until golden brown on each side.
    1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
    Slices of Spam are being pan-fried in a black cast iron skillet, with a metal spatula and a yellow checkered towel beside the pan.
  • Place slices onto a cutting board and dice into cubes. Set aside.
  • In a wok, melt 1 tablespoon of butter then cook your eggs (break them apart like scrambled eggs). Remove the scrambled eggs from wok and set aside in a bowl.
    4 large eggs, 1 tablespoons butter

  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the wok then add onion, corn, and peas and carrot mix. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
    1 medium onion, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix, 2 tablespoons butter
    Chopped onions, diced carrots with peas, and corn kernels are arranged in a wok on a tiled surface, ready to be cooked.
  • Add the warmed rice and break it up with your spatula, as needed. Keep folding the rice in with the veggies until well-combined.

  • Pour the soy sauce over the rice. You might want to do this slowly in case it gets too salty for you and you can reduce the amount you use. I'd pour it in 1 circle around the skillet at a time and then mix it altogether and taste. Use more or less soy sauce as desired.

  • Turn off the heat then add the eggs back in along with the SPAM cubes. Add in the remaining butter to the rice mixture. Stir until it has melted and incorporated into the rice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
