Spam Fried Rice Recipe - The Woks of Life

Yes, today we are serving up Spam Fried Rice. It’s a rare turn of events on a blog where our most illicit pork products are lard, and maybe bacon. But, the day has come…Let’s! Talk! About! SPAM! Spam is a polarizing food for many out there, but when crisped up in this fried rice? Believe me, it's good.

Kimchi and Spam Fried Rice

Whatever the provenance of the can of Spam I found hanging out in my pantry, I knew its destination: Add to it an egg, an onion, and a few other aromatics, and I had everything on hand to make myself a big ol' plate of the ultimate Korean-American late-night drunk food: kimchi and Spam fried rice.

Spam and Pineapple Spring Rolls with Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce

If sliced just right, Spam makes for an excellent spring roll filling—especially so when combined with slivers of fresh pineapple, toasted sesame seeds, and green onions. When fried to a crisp in hot oil, these Hawaii-ified spring rolls are great as is, but a dip in homemade sweet and sour sauce provides another contrast to the crunchy shell and toasted sesame seeds, salty Spam and sweet pineapple.

Kimchi and Asparagus Stir-Fry With Spam and Fried Egg

Inspired by Italian asparagus alla Milanese, this Korean-flavored version takes quite a few liberties. The asparagus is slivered thinly and stir-fried with kimchi and spam, then topped with a fried egg, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and finished with finely grated Spanish chorizo.

Quick and Easy Pork Fried Rice With Corn and Shishito Peppers

Fried rice is like the hash of dinnertime. It's the easiest and tastiest way to cleanse your fridge of leftovers. A couple of weeks back, my fridge happened to be full of leftover sous vide pork tenderloin. It's also summer, which means that I have a near-endless supply of corn and shishito peppers in my fridge at all times (those two are fantastic partners in crime). Put it all together, and what do you get? This simple pork fried rice with charred corn and peppers.

Spam and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches

When Spam and eggs are wedged into a toasted Hawaiian roll slathered in jelly (pineapple, mango, and even strawberry, all work well), it makes for an epic breakfast sandwich that might even sway the harshest of Spam critics (one could only hope). The sweetness of the rolls and the jelly balance the salty Spam and the rich, runny egg yolk. Oh, and a squirt of Sriracha never hurts either.
