Spam Fried Rice
Be honest. You like spam. The saltiness. The crispy pan fried edges. The mystery of what you are actually eating. Admit it. You like spam.
I like spam. Fried super crispy and served with rice. Oooh…a spam musubi. Yummy! But most of all, I love some Spam Fried Rice. I love to make this when I am just hanging out on the couch watching tv. It is the perfect ‘hanging out’ food. If you are afraid to eat spam, try this recipe first. Trust me, you will like spam.
Delicious Rating: Maybe I am being bias towards my good friend spam but I think this is the best fried rice recipe ever! It is seriously delicious and an easy recipe to cook. Use some day old rice for the perfect consistency. I add extra eggs because I think you never really get enough egg in fried rice from a restaurant. My sauce is a little more sweet than others but change up the amount of ingredients in the sauce according to your taste. And please…please tell me if you like spam!

This recipe calls for 6 eggs which some may think is a bit too much. But I love egg in fried rice, there is never enough of it either! So, my recipe my amount of eggs! Okay, that sounded mean, I didn’t mean to mean to sound mean. Add in the 6 eggs for the perfect ratio or leave some out if you are not that egg in fried rice lover!
Hello Spam. The crisp edges will give your fried rice just what it needs to be perfect!
I started eating this out of the wok, that good. Of course, my DH had to yell at me to ‘just get a plate’. I did, a rather large plate!
If you like some sweetness in the rice add in some diced pineapple, will give a great new side to it!
Delicious!
I do love Spam! This looks pretty awesome. I’m gonna give it a try.
This is a great recipe and so easy! Let me know how it turns out Kevin!
I made this last night and it was, as I suspected, awesome. I made a couple minor adjustments out of necessity. Used Turkey Spam and regular onion because that’s all I had on hand. Also no carrots because the lady of the house doesn’t care for them. She’s also a bit wary of Spam but after her first bite she said “Wow, I’m impressed! I’m glad I trusted you.” Thanks, Raven! I’ll definitely make this again. I need more Spam.
Glad the Mrs. was impressed and the recipe worked out for you Kevin!
1 cup of soy sauce? How much sodium in this recipe?
Not sure Mary! But try a low sodium soy sauce if it is too much for you, plus a low sodium spam as well!
As I love beef, I would love to change the spam with beef meat. And I will go crazy to ad chili pepper. Thanks for the recipe Raven.
That is what makes this such a great easy recipe, you can use different meats and spice up the level of heat just as you want!
Spam and I had never been properly introduced. Turned the can over and read “pork with ham…” Huh?!? Who cares. Tossed it. Made GREAT rice, lol.
Alexis you never have had Spam! Isn’t it the best salty, crispy, sweet meat ever?! lol, glad it turned out great!
Haha not only have i never had it, but my family turned their snoody lil noses up lol
Snoody horrible people! Give spam a chance!
