Serving Size: Serves 4-5

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of Spam, diced (about 340g)
  • 300g (2 1/2 cups) frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas)
  • 5 servings of cooked rice (about 4 cups or 800g)
  • 3 spring onions, sliced
  • 6 eggs, scrambled
  • For the sauce:
    • 1 tbsp (15ml) dark soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp (15ml) light soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp (15ml) oyster sauce


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp each of dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In a large skillet or wok, scramble 6 eggs until just set. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Spam: In the same skillet, add the diced Spam and cook until it starts to brown.
  4. Add Vegetables: Add 300g of frozen diced vegetables to the skillet and cook until they are heated through.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the sauce and mix well.
  6. Add Eggs and Spring Onions: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and add the sliced spring onions. Toss everything together until well combined.
  7. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips and Substitutes

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace Spam with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version.
  • Protein Variation: Use cooked chicken, shrimp, or beef instead of Spam for a different protein twist.
  • Rice Tips: Day-old rice works best as it’s less sticky and fries better. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool and dry out a bit before using.
  • Soy Sauce Alternatives: Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
