Island Spam Recipes

ISLAND-STYLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the rice cool completely.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat, and brown the luncheon meat and sausage. Set aside, and pour the beaten eggs into the hot skillet. Scramble the eggs, and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and stir in the rice. Toss the rice with the hot oil until heated through and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic powder, toss the rice for 1 more minute to develop the garlic taste, and stir in the luncheon meat, sausage, scrambled eggs, pineapple, and oyster sauce. Cook and stir until the oyster sauce coats the rice and other ingredients, 2 to 3 minutes, stir in the green onions, and serve.

SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Slice the SPAM into about 8-10 slices (depending on how thick you like it) and put in a Ziplock bag. Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar until sugar is dissolved and add to the bag with the SPAM. Marinate for about 15 minutes.
• Drain off marinade and fry SPAM on each side over medium heat until slightly crispy or until desired doneness. Some people like to glaze the SPAM with the marinade/sauce AFTER frying, either way tastes great!
• Place a strip of nori on a cutting board or clean surface (shiny side down). Place your Musubi mold across the middle of the nori. Add Sushi Rice to the mold, pressing down firmly and evenly, so there is about 1-1 1/2 inches of rice. (dip the mold and your fingers in water as you go to prevent sticking)
• Next, remove the mold from the rice. Now you will have a nice little block of rice right on the nori. Add some of the cooked spam to the top. Wrap up one side of the nori and stick it to the top of the SPAM, then wrap up the other side. Just like you are wrapping a nice little package. Use a little water on your finger to seal if needed. Serve warm.
• Some like it dipped in soy sauce, some like it with ketchup, and some like it as is.

KIMCHI, SPAM, AND EGG SCRAMBLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Dice the Spam into small cubes.
• Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat to combine.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Spam and cook until golden brown and crispy, stirring often, 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the kimchi, and cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Push mixture to one side of the pan and melt the butter in the empty side. Reduce the heat to low, add the eggs, and cook, stirring frequently, until scrambled to your desired doneness. Stir in the kimchi and spam until well combined.
• Add the rice to 2 serving bowls and divide the scrambled egg mixture between the bowls. Top with furikake, if desired.
• Enjoy!
