Spam and Egg Fried Rice

Even though Spam is not a nutritious ingredient, but for some people it is so tasty and makes a favorite quick meal. I posted a Spam sushi recipe in my blog before, and today I will introduce a quick, easy recipe for turning Spam into a well-deserved spot on the list of recipes to try. Asians love Spam, maybe because it easy to find and also not that expensive for feeding a large family. This Spam fried rice is just a perfect choice. Although I promote healthy eating habits, once in a while, I like to enjoy this tasty, easy meal.

Ingredients:
6 oz. Spam (1 can of Spam is about 12 oz.)
2 eggs beaten
3 cups days old cooked rice
1/2 cup chopped white onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, sliced
Sauce ingredients:
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs mirin
1 tbs cooking wine
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp mushroom seasoning (optional)
Other ingredient:
2 tbs oil (grape seed or your choice)

Directions:
Soak Spam with water for 15 minutes to remove some of its salt. Drain and dice.
Heat oil in a wok or deep sauté pan; scramble the eggs, remove, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add some oil. Add Spam and stir and cook until Spam turns brown. Stir in the chopped white onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes or until fragrant.
If you have a large skillet, at this point move the cooked Spam off to the side and add rice.
Because there is a lot of fat that comes out from the Spam, I do not add any more oil. Continue to cook the rice and stir in sauce. Adjust the seasoning because Spam tends to be salty.
Stir in scrambled eggs and mix the cooked Spam to join with the rice.
Mix them well together; turn off the heat and stir in the green onions.
Now the rice is ready to serve.
