Ingredients

Fried Rice

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 12 oz low sodium spam cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and finely diced
  • 1 cup chopped french green beans fresh
  • 1 bunch green onions white/light green and dark green parts separated and sliced
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 4 cups day-old cooked long grain white rice
  • Japanese mayo Kewpie
  • 2 tablespoons furikake

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dark soy
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce

Instructions

  • Heat a large nonstick wok or skillet pan over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for sauce and set aside.
  • Add oil to the pan and then the cubed spam. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spam is caramelized. Remove the spam from the pan and set aside. You can add a little more oil if necessary.
  • Add the yellow onion, white/light green parts of the green onion, garlic, and carrots to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until carrots are slightly softened. Then, add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green.
  • Move all the veggies to one side of the pan and pour the eggs into the exposed side. Allow the eggs to cook completely and then use a wooden spoon to break the egg up into pieces. Add the rice and spam to the pan and mix everything together.
  • Pour the sauce into the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is absorbed into the rice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with the Japanese mayo and sprinkle with the furikake and the green onion tops.
