Ingredients
- 1 can Spam, cut into cubes
- 4 cup cooked rice, preferably day-old
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, plus 2 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 tablespoon rice vinegar, divided
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce or Sriracha
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon cooking oil
- Furikake seasoning, for garnish
- Nori strips, for garnish
Instructions
1. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cubed Spam and cook until browned and crispy. Stir in 2 tablespoon of soy sauce and the brown sugar, then cook for another minute until the Spam is nicely glazed. Remove the Spam from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, crack in the eggs and scramble them until just cooked. Remove the scrambled eggs and set them aside with the Spam.
3. Add the butter to the skillet, then cook the green onions and garlic until fragrant.
4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir in the remaining soy sauce, white pepper, garlic powder, and 4 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Cook for several minutes, stirring often, until the rice is hot and slightly crisp.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, and the remaining 2 tablespoon of rice vinegar until smooth.
6. Return the Spam and eggs to the skillet and toss everything together. Serve the Musubi Spam Fried Rice hot, drizzled with the spicy mayo and topped with furikake seasoning and nori strips.
Notes
Use day-old rice for the best texture. The drier grains will crisp up beautifully during the frying process.
Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili garlic sauce or Sriracha to the mayo.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the Spam with firm tofu or your favorite plant-based protein.
Experiment with different vegetables, such as bell peppers, peas, or spinach, to add more nutrition and flavor variety.
