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.
- Furikake – a Japanese all-purpose seasoning mix to sprinkle on top of the rice. Found at many Asian grocery stores.
- Neutral Oil – no taste or flavor with high cooking temperature. Some choices are sunflower oil, peanut oil, sallower oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil.
- 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.
- Green Onion – freshly chopped and used as a topping for the eggs.
- Cooking Oil Spray – your preferred brand of spray cooking oil.
🍚 Rice Note
I recommend using Fresh Rice for this recipe.
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 spam 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.
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, stirring continuously until they are cooked and fluffy. Transfer the eggs to a plate when done and sprinkled chopped green onions on top.
🥚 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 the cubed spam and sear for about 2 minutes under high heat until they develop a crispy outer crust. Mix in the spam sauce, toss and then transfer to a plate.
Step 5 Add fresh rice to a plate, sprinkle with furikake, and serve.
Recipe Variations
For a delicious twist on this lunch plate, consider making my Spam Egg Rice Bowl. Simply use the same ingredients, but instead of plating them separately, combine everything in a bowl and drizzle the Spam Musubi Sauce over the top!
Pairing Recommendations
This lunch plate is great on its own, but you can enhance the meal by serving it with a green salad tossed in my Japanese Ginger Dressing or a Chinese Chicken Salad with a side of warm Japanese Miso Soup!
