Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can of Spam, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove Spam from can and dice into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Allow pan to warm for about 2 minutes.
- Add diced Spam to the heated pan and cook until edges become crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 4-5 minutes.
- Push the crispy Spam to one side of the pan and crack eggs into the empty space, allowing them to cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs while they are cooking.
- While eggs are cooking, drizzle soy sauce over the Spam to enhance its flavor and create a slight glaze.
- If using pre-cooked rice, quickly warm it in the microwave or in a separate pan.
- Plate the dish by first spreading warm rice as a base, then topping with crispy Spam and cooked eggs.
- Garnish with freshly sliced green onions across the top of the dish.
- Serve immediately while eggs and Spam are hot and rice is warm.
Tips
- Choose Your Spam Wisely: If you want to add a twist, try using flavored Spam varieties like teriyaki or bacon for an extra layer of taste.
- Perfect Egg Cooking: For perfectly cooked eggs, consider using a lid on your skillet during the last minute of cooking. This will help the tops cook evenly without flipping.
- Rice Matters: If you’re using leftover rice, make sure it’s not too dry. A splash of water or a quick microwave steam can help revive it.
- Garnish for Flavor: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh crunch that balances the richness of the Spam and eggs.
- Experiment with Sauces: Feel free to drizzle sriracha or your favorite hot sauce over the top for a spicy kick that complements the savory elements of the dish.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, making it a great option for meal prep. Just store the components separately and combine them when ready to eat.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad to add a refreshing contrast to your meal.
