Spam Fried Rice was a hit for my son and husband. I was thinking of cooking fried rice since we had a few cups of leftover rice in the fridge. There were also frozen veggies sitting in the freezer. I was still looking around for other possible ingredients when I saw a can of Spam lite in the pantry. I knew what needed to be done.
I got the idea on how to cook the fried rice this way from our local Hibachi restaurant. The chef uses butter and soy sauce to cook the rice. I liked how it tastes so I tried to mimic the ingredients and steps. I had the Spam added in the fried rice to make it a meal. It was a complete lunch package.
This dish can also be cooked for dinner. You can put it in a box and eat it from there. Pretend that it is a Chinese take out Friday.
Have fun cooking!
