Description

A quick and easy spam fried rice recipe with eggs, sesame, and nori for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked white rice (cold, day-old is best)
  • 1 (12 oz) can Spam, diced into small cubes
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (plus more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp butter (or neutral oil)
  • 12 tbsp furikake or crushed nori (seaweed flakes)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced Spam and cook 4–6 minutes, stirring, until browned and slightly crisp.
  2. Push Spam to one side. Add butter (or a little oil), pour in beaten eggs, and scramble until just set.
  3. Add cold cooked rice and break it up with a spatula. Stir everything together and fry 3–5 minutes until hot.
  4. Drizzle in soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss well until rice is evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle in sesame seeds and furikake (or nori flakes). Toss again.
  6. Top with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Cold rice = best texture.
  • Fry Spam until crisp before adding eggs.
  • Add soy a little at a time so it doesn’t get soggy.
