Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice

Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice

Welcome back to episode 2 of realistic dinners, featuring groceries I have in the house.

Today we are making Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice, which takes less than 20 minutes to make at home! Savoury, delicious, and super affordable to make at home, Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice is the perfect recipe for weeknight dinners.

If you don’t like spicy food, you can also skip the red chili, and it will still be super delicious. 

seaweed

With crispy spam, umami seaweed, and savory sauce, this Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice is seriously so delicious.

You don’t need to use any oil when pan-frying spam. Slowly render out the fat from the spam, and oil adds SO MUCH FLAVOUR to the fried rice.

When it comes to roasted seaweed, my personal favorite is the Costco Roasted Seaweed; it is super delicious and has great value. 

crispy spam

The sauce is the star of my Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice.

Inspired by my Korean Marinated Eggs, this sauce reminds me of Korean BBQ mixed rice dishes. All you need is a few simple ingredients to make the delicious sauce for my Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice.

You will need soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, A LOT of garlic, red chili, and sesame seeds. You can adjust the amount of spice based on the red chili. If you want to get the spice but are scared of spicy food, remove the seeds from the red chili. 

fried rice

Make sure to use COLD COOKED RICE when making Spicy Garlic Spam Fried Rice.

Using COLD, COOKED RICE is the most important of making fried rice. Cold-cooked rice prevents the rice from becoming overcooked and soggy.

My number one hack for making fried rice is storing the rice in reusable plastic bags once the rice has thoroughly cooled down. I add around two portions of rice per bag; not only does this store the rice in a more compact way for your fridge, but this also makes it super easy to break apart the rice.

Store the bags in the fridge overnight; the next day, remove the rice from the bag and you should be able to break the rice apart easily.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
