Spam Fried Rice
Making your own Fried Rice is not just easy but delicious. You can use ham, shrimp or whatever is your favorite meat if you don’t have Spam. Are you making rice for a meal? Make extra and put it in the refrigerator, like I did, to make this Spam Fried Rice even easier for your next meal.
I used the Classic Spam.
Cook your rice according to the package directions.
Cut the Spam into small bite sized
pieces and dice the onion.
In a small bowl whisk the eggs.
Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over
medium low heat. Once the oil is hot add
the onions, carrots and peas cooking until
the onion is translucent.
Add the spam and cook until hot.
Push the Spam and vegetables
to the side and add the eggs.
Cook the egg.
Toss the egg into the Spam and vegetables
then push it to the side and add the rice.
Cook until the rice is hot then toss it all together.
Add the soy sauce, toss well and serve.

This is something my mom would have loved! She liked using Spam, and she loved fried rice!
What a nice memory Dorothy. I wasn’t sure how it would taste but my husband and I loved it.
I have a favorite recipe for homemade Fried Rice that I really enjoy–it doesn’t call for Spam, but that’s a good idea. The part of your recipe that I think is brilliant is using SESAME OIL to saute the veggies! It would add so much flavor. I don’t know why I have never thought of that, but from here on out…Thanks for the tip.
Awe thank you! I had to smile about the sesame oil comment. About 6 months ago my daughter called me and said Mom, I figured out how the Chinese places make the fried rice so good. I said with sesame oil and she laughed and said she never knew that. I guess she doesn’t read my blog! 🤣😂🤣 (Also, are you having trouble with you site? I can’t bring it up.)
Not sure why my site would not be working. Perhaps this link will connect. https://farmerswifemagazine.com/
Yes that worked for me thank you!
Almost as awesome as you 😁
Awe you are making more brownie points! Thank you dear friend! ❤️
I’ll take brownies 😂
Deal!
This looks so good!
One of my favourite memories of my dad, who passed away in 2008, was when I was child he would from time to time pack me fried sliced spam on a bed of white rice for my school lunch. I always looked forward to those lunches. Such a comfort food.
This fried rice looks equally comforting!
What a nice memory Ab, most kids get stuck with peanut butter and jelly. You were so lucky! Thank you ❤️
Our T gets a jelly sandwich most days. 😂 Can’t so the peanut butter anymore. But yes, I was quite lucky!
Do your grandkids get the spam fried rice for lunch?
They are actually getting free lunches, the entire school is. I don’t know if it is a state funding or what but they have since the pandemic started. Even when they were doing remote learning we went to the school and drove through a lunch line. Food was for 5 days. They take water and a snack and that’s it.
That is a wonderful program! We have a free snacks program but that’s it. I would love a lunch program. Making lunches are so annoying! 😆 Happy that you have this program!
I don’t think I’ve ever bought a can of spam? Not sure I’m a huge fan? I’m thinking real ham would work too? Or maybe I should try it before I make up my mind! What a concept! Hugs, C
Cheryl you can use cooked ham, shrimp or chicken too. The fried rice is made the same way no matter what cooked meat you use. Spam tastes a lot like ham but softer and saltier, however, they make at least 12 different flavors of Spam. I have only tried the classic one. The first time I bought a can years ago, I stuck it in my cupboard and let all the bad things people have said over the years influence me. I ended up giving it to a food drive. Lol Hmmmm now the decision, do you try it or not? Let me know if you do and what you think. Lol
I could use the grandkids to test it out? I’ll let you know what they think. I’ll be hiding it under the potatoes in the grocery checkout as if it were a smut novel! Bahaha!
😂
Looks good. Spam is best (for me) when it is near burnt to a crisp.
Have you tried any of the different flavors? I know there are about 12 different flavors. All I ever buy is the regular old classic.
Me, too, though I have tried a few variations, especially when the shelves began to empty during the early stages of the pandemic.
Spam has gotten a bad rap. That sounds good.
Yes I agree, I like to keep a can in the basement for when I want a quick meal with meat. Thank you!
And we always have some leftover rice! This is such a colourful and easy dish – I’m all for it! Thanks Diane!
I know we really enjoyed it! You could take a can of Spam on one of those insane hikes of yours! 🤣
Do you know how much one of those cans weigh Diane 😅? Way too heavy to carry in a backpack … but we always take a few cans on our 4×4 trips (and next time, we will remember the rice as well)!
I remember you said your husband liked Spam. This looks tasty. I like Spam as well, though I’ve not had a can of it in a while – now you can buy the individual slices if you’re so inclined.
No way! I have seen ham sliced thick for sale but I never knew they sold Spam that way. One of these days I want to try a different flavor. You always teach me something new Linda. ❤️
Yes, in single packages – right next to the regular SPAM. They’re very handy to have if you only want one slice, rather than open up a whole tin.
How nice!
Easy and delicious 😋 I like every bow and then using spam 😉
Thanks!💕
This looks awesome. The recipe is so simple. Definitely another receive for me to try. Lord knows I need some simple, delicious but easy receipe ideas.
Thank you you can use ham, shrimp or chicken with this too. Thank you and have a great day!
