COOK | SPAM FRIED RICE

In college I cooked and ate a lot of fried rice. I would use Melly's tiny 8-inch frying pan. It was pretty ridiculous, and I usually made a huge mess all over the stove. Melly would forgive me if I left her some fried rice in the pan, so I usually did. Unless her nap that day was long enough for me to get hungry again and eat the rest before she woke up. (Sorry, Melly, I tried!) Now I use a huge frying pan with higher walls because I'm still a messy cook.

Spam fried rice is the ultimate comfort food.

First, cut the spam into small pieces. I like to pan fry them for a pretty long time to cook out some of the fat and get all the sides super crispy! Maybe about 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring every couple of minutes.

I scoot the spam to one side of the pan and crack the eggs directly into the spam fat left over. 

No need for bowls or forks, I scramble the eggs right in the pan with my rice scooper.

And then I added some frozen veggies, fresh chopped green onions from my backyard, 6-8 cups of leftover rice, and oyster sauce. Mixed it up and let it it cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes to crisp up the rice at the bottom of the pan (I love crispy rice).

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 can of spam, cubed
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup frozen mixed veggies
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/8 cup oyster sauce
