Ingredients
- 1 can SPAM
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 6 to 8 large eggs or more
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cups cooked rice more or less
Instructions
- Dice the spam into cubes or bite-sized pieces.
- Combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar and then add it to the diced spam. Stir to combine. Allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated spam to a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Do not discard the marinade.
- Stir every couple of minutes with a rubber spatula so the other sides can caramelize. If you stir it too often, the sides won't have time to crisp up.
- Once the edges of the cubed spam have crisped up, add 2 to 3 spoonful of the mainade to the pan, lower the heat to medium-low, and allow the sauce to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Set the cubed spam aside.
- Rinse or wipe clean the pan and add the butter to the pan, over medium heat.
- Beat the eggs with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder before adding it to the pan.
- Gently and slowly stir the eggs with a rubber spatula to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Fold the eggs within themselves. When the eggs are mostly cooked, it should look custard-like, remove from heat. The residual heat from the pan will finish cooking the eggs and keep them fluffy. This shouldn't take more than 4 to 5 minutes.
- Assemble the rice bowls by adding the caramelized spam and scrambled eggs overtop a bowl of warm cooked rice.
