Serving Size: Serves 4

 

Ingredients:

  • Cooked rice: 4 servings (approximately 4 cups)
  • Vegetable oil: 2 tbsp
  • Garlic: 2 tsp, minced
  • Frozen mixed vegetables: 300 g (10.5 oz)
  • Canned tropical fruits (drained): 160 g (5.6 oz) – mango, pineapple, papaya
  • Spring onions: 2, sliced
  • Spam: 1 can (340 g / 12 oz), diced

 

For the Sauce:

  • Oyster sauce: 1 tbsp
  • Soy sauce: 2 tbsp
  • Maggi seasoning sauce: 1/2 tbsp

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Rice and Ingredients:
    • Ensure the cooked rice is cooled and slightly dry for the best texture.
    • Drain the canned tropical fruits and dice them into small chunks if needed.
  2. Sauté Vegetables and Garlic:
    • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
    • Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add Spam:
    • Add the diced Spam to the skillet with the vegetables.
    • Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Spam is lightly browned.
  4. Add Rice:
    • Push the vegetable and Spam mixture to one side of the skillet.
    • Add the cooked rice and stir everything together, combining the rice with the Spam and vegetables.
  5. Mix in Sauce and Tropical Fruits:
    • Drizzle the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and Maggi seasoning sauce directly over the fried rice.
    • Stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
    • Gently fold in the diced tropical fruits and spring onions. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

 

Tips for the Dish

  • Ingredient Substitutions: Use tofu or tempeh instead of Spam for a vegetarian option. Coconut aminos can replace soy sauce for a gluten-free variation.
  • Rice Tip: Day-old rice works best for fried rice, as it’s less sticky and absorbs flavors better.
  • Add Protein: Add scrambled eggs, cooked shrimp, or shredded rotisserie chicken for extra protein.
  • Make Ahead: This dish freezes well! Store portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
