Cooking steps

1

Cut the Spam into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add Spam cubes and cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until deeply golden and crispy on all sides.
2

Move the Spam to one side of the pan. Add in the beaten eggs and scramble on medium heat until just set but still moist, about 1 minute.
3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the empty space, then stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Sauté for 2 minutes until heated through and slightly softened.
4

Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Increase heat to high and stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes so the rice gets hot and slightly toasted.
5

Drizzle in soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper evenly over the rice. Toss vigorously to coat, then add most of the scallions, reserving some for garnish. Stir-fry for another minute. Serve hot, garnished with remaining scallions.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

Spam is the standout ingredient that brings salty, savory depth and a hearty texture to this fried rice. Its crispy, golden-edged cubes infuse the dish with iconic flavor and turn ordinary fried rice into a nostalgic treat.

Q. How do you keep the Spam crispy in your fried rice?

For the best crispiness, cube the Spam evenly and fry it in a hot pan with vegetable oil, letting each side brown before mixing. Add the Spam first so it forms a golden crust, then combine with rice and veggies near the end to preserve that crispy texture.

Q. How do I prevent mushy or overly sticky fried rice?

Use day-old cooked rice, which is drier and keeps the grains separate. Break up any rice clumps before stir-frying and maintain high heat when adding rice to avoid steaming—resulting in a fluffy, non-sticky fried rice.
