Ingredients

6 cups cooked rice
3 tablespoons oil
2 large slices of ginger
8 ounces Spam (225g, diced)
1 onion (diced, about 1 cup)
2 carrots (diced, about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
1-2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
4 eggs beaten
1 cup frozen peas
3 scallions (diced)

Instructions

First prepare your rice. You can make this the night before and leave it in the fridge, or you can make it 20-30 minutes before you want to eat.
When your rice is at the ready, heat the oil in a wok set over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and fry gently in the oil for about 1 minute. Next, add the spam. Cook the spam until it’s lightly crisped at the edges, stirring occasionally. Next, add the onions and carrots, and cook for a few minutes until tender.
Turn the heat up to high, and add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Spread out evenly into a single layer across the wok to warm up the rice (if using leftovers) and gently crisp it.
Next, add the Shaoxing wine, the soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir to combine.
Spread the rice out again into a single layer. Drizzle the beaten eggs across the rice, and stir-fry quickly with your spatula. Let sit for about 15 seconds, then stir-fry quickly to cook the egg completely and distribute it throughout the rice.
Add the peas and scallions and stir-fry until the peas are warmed through. Serve your Spam Fried Rice immediately with hot sauce of choice!
