Ingredients
Ingredients
- Spam – l recommend using low-sodium as I found the original overly salty. Can be found in the canned section of grocery stores.
- Rice – rice of choice such as white, brown or even cauliflower rice depending on your preference.
- Neutral Oil –Â no taste or flavor with high cooking temperature. Some choices are sunflower oil, peanut oil, sallower oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil.Â
- Japanese Sake – typically will come in a large bottle labeled junmai sake. Can also substitute with dry sherry wine or Chinese cooking wine, found at local grocery stores or Asian markets. Helps provide umami flavors to the sauce and eggs.
- Soy Sauce – low-sodium Soy Sauce preferred. Can also use tamari for gluten-free. Used as the base flavor for the sauce.
- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
- Eggs – white or brown eggs of choice.
- Cooking Oil Spray – your preferred brand of spray cooking oil.
- Seaweed – shredded seaweed found at Asian grocery stores. Used as the optional garnish
Essential Kitchen Equipment
- Wok or Deep Large Skillet
Directions
☑ Before Getting Started
Ensure you have a Large Skillet or Wok on hand to provide ample space for searing your spam.
Step 1 Prepare the sauce by combining Japanese sake, soy sauce, and sweetener in a small skillet. Bring the sauce to a soft boil, simmer for 20-30 seconds, then remove from heat. Transfer the sauce into a sauce vessel.
Step 2 Combine Japanese sake, sweetener, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Hand mix the eggs until well combined.
Step 3 Spray a medium-sized skillet with cooking oil spray and place it over medium-low heat. Once the pan is preheated, add the egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs, continuously mixing until cooked and fluffy. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of rice on one side.
🥚 Egg Pro Tip
When scrambling the eggs, aim for a Soft and Fluffy Texture. Cook the eggs gently over medium-low heat to prevent them from becoming dry or rubbery.
Step 4 Preheat cooking oil in a wok or large skillet. Once the oil is hot, add cubed spam, searing for about 2 minutes until they have a seared outer crust. Then, transfer the spam to the other side of the rice bowl. Drizzle the prepared sauce on top of the spam before serving.
🌿 Garnish Pro Tip
For a finishing touch, garnish with Shredded Seaweed. This simple addition adds visual appeal to the dish.
Recipe Variations
To make this a Hawaiian style lunch plate instead, just toss the spam with my Spam Musubi Sauce, add some furikake to the rice to create my Spam Egg Rice Plate! Or For a Japanese twist on this recipe, try substituting the spam with ground chicken and incorporating green onions to create a flavorful Soboro Donburi Ground Chicken Bowl. Alternatively, for a heartier option, omit the eggs and instead add steak slices to craft my Steak Donburi Bowl!
Pairing Recommendations
While the Spam Egg Rice Bowl is hearty enough on its own, it’s also delicious alongside Tofu Miso Soup and a Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad or a refreshing Japanese Spinach Salad.
