Shrimp Spam Fried Rice

Here’s a one-meal dish that’s cooked in one pot. Actually I cooked it in one wok. Fried Rice always has that quality if you’re creative enough to add a few more ingredients to make it into a 1 meal dish. That’s exactly what I did with this fried rice.

Shrimp-Spam Fried Rice

INGREDIENTS :
3-4 cups of cooked rice
1 bag of frozen shrimp
1 can of Spam, cubed
1/2 of medium onion, finely sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
2 carrots, cubed
3-4 tbsp soy sauce
sprinkle of ground black pepper
sprinkle of saffron (optional)
oil for sautéing

Heat the oil in the wok. Sauté garlic and onion. Add the cubed Spam. Let that cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the frozen shrimp. Cook until they’re not frozen anymore.

Add the cooked rice. Stir everything gently, breaking the rice clusters. Then add the seasonings of soy sauce, black pepper, and saffron. Continue to cook and stir everything for about 5 minutes or so.

Stir in the green peppers and carrots at the last minute. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. You want to retain the crunchiness of the green peppers and carrots.

There you go. You can serve each member of the meal a bowl of this fried rice or serve it as a side dish to grilled or baked meats. It works both ways
