Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 can of Spam, diced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the Spam, onion, and green onions. Mince the garlic. Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
- Cook the Spam: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced Spam and cook until it is browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the Spam from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Vegetables: Add the frozen peas and carrots mix to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
- Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked rice and the browned Spam back into the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything together until the rice is evenly coated with the sauces and heated through.
- Finish and Serve: Add the sliced green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything one final stir and serve hot.
