Spam Stir Fry Noodles
Description
This Spam Stir Fry Noodles recipe starts by slicing luncheon meat into strips and pan-frying them in oil until brown and crispy, creating a flavorful protein base with a crisp texture. Meanwhile, instant ramen noodles are boiled just until tender, drained, and set aside to avoid overcooking. Stir-fry vegetables, typically frozen, are added to the skillet and cooked with the luncheon meat to heat through and maintain some texture.
The noodles are returned to the skillet along with about half of the instant ramen seasoning packet. Tossing everything together coats the components in the seasoning’s flavor, combining salty, savory notes. Additional seasoning can be adjusted to taste. The result is a simple stir-fried dish integrating soft noodles, crisp vegetable bits, and the distinct flavor and texture of browned luncheon meat.
This meal suits quick dinners or lunches when simple ingredients are on hand, providing an inexpensive and filling option. It balances convenience with a home-cooked feel. The recipe measures the cost based on whole packages but uses only portions, reflecting economical use of typical grocery staples.
Ingredients
- 7 oz. luncheon meat $1.25
- 12 oz. stir fry vegetables $1.25, frozen
- 3 oz. package instant ramen $1.25
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil $1.25, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Slice the luncheon meat into strips.
- Add about a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet and heat over medium. Add the sliced luncheon meat and fry until brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil for the ramen noodles. Add the noodles (without the seasoning packet) and boil for about 3 minutes, or just until tender. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Once the luncheon meat is crispy, turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high and add the frozen vegetables. Continue to stir and cook until the vegetables are heated through.
- Add the drained noodles and about half of the ramen seasoning packet to the skillet. Toss until everything is combined and coated in seasoning. Taste and add more seasoning if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Calculate ingredient costs based on full package prices, though only portions are used in the recipe.
- Use half the ramen seasoning packet to control saltiness; add more seasoning to taste if desired.
- The nutrition facts correspond to using the full seasoning packet, not just the half used in the dish.
