Spam Fried Rice

Oil your hand and break up the day-old rice into small pieces. Try to get them to small individual pieces if you can.

In a small bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1 teaspoon oil and set aside.

In another small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or fish sauce) and set aside.

Finely mince or grate 1 clove garlic and set it aside.

and dice 1 small onion and set it aside.

Finely mince 1 stalk green onion and set aside for the end.

Remove the spam from the can and dice them into 1/4 inch cubes and set it aside.

Set a large skillet or wok over the stove and set it to medium heat.

Add a bit of oil and add in 1 tablespoon butter

Add in the spam, and toast it for 5 minutes until some of the oil renders out and it becomes a darker shade of red.

Add the diced onions and soften it with the spam for about 4 minutes

Add in 1 cup frozen vegetables and minced garlic and cook it for about 4 minutes until the vegetables have soften

Push aside the vegetables and spam, and add a bit of oil again to the pan and add in the beaten egg and let it cook for about 30 seconds until it is about 50% cooked.

Add the rice on top of the half-cooked eggs.

Mix just the rice with the egg and cook it together until the egg is fully cooked and the rice and eggs look dry (not mushy). Approx 2-3 minutes.If there are still small chunks of rice, use the back of your spatula to break it up.

Push the spam and vegetables back together and mix everything together.

Drizzle the sauce evenly over all the rice and stir everything together, until everything is evenly seasoned.

Turn off the heat, mix in the green onions.

Enjoy!
