Ingredients
- 6 cups cooked rice
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 large slices of ginger
- 8 ounces SPAM (225g, diced)
- 1 onion (diced, about 1 cup)
- 2 carrots (diced, about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
- 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 4 eggs beaten
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 scallions (diced)
Instructions
- First prepare your rice. You can make this the night before and leave it in the fridge, or you can make it 20-30 minutes before you want to eat.
- When your rice is at the ready, heat the oil in a wok set over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and fry gently in the oil for about 1 minute. Next, add the spam. Cook the spam until it’s lightly crisped at the edges, stirring occasionally. Next, add the onions and carrots, and cook for a few minutes until tender.
- Turn the heat up to high, and add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Spread out evenly into a single layer across the wok to warm up the rice (if using leftovers) and gently crisp it.
- Next, add the Shaoxing wine, the soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir to combine.
- Spread the rice out again into a single layer. Drizzle the beaten eggs across the rice, and stir-fry quickly with your spatula. Let sit for about 15 seconds, then stir-fry quickly to cook the egg completely and distribute it throughout the rice.
- Add the peas and scallions and stir-fry until the peas are warmed through. Serve your Spam Fried Rice immediately with hot sauce of choice!
