Spam Fried Rice is a delicious recipe that involves stir-frying rice with fried spam and some veggies. It’s no surprise that egg fried rice recipe variations are all over social media, with everyone trying to make their own unique version. Using Spam is just another creative twist on this classic dish! Let’s cook this amazing breakfast!
How to Cook Spam Fried Rice
- First, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan. This will give the dish a rich flavor and prevent sticking.
- Next, Cook 12 ounces of luncheon meat cubes in the pan for 2 minutes over medium heat. This will help them get crispy and flavorful before incorporating them into our cooked rice.
- Then push the meat cubes to the side of the pan to make room. Pour the beaten eggs into the open spot. Cook one side until done, then flip to cook the other side. Cut the eggs into small pieces in the pan using the tip of the spatula. Cooking in the same pan keeps your kitchen a little cleaner. Plus, it’s cool to cook everything in one pan, right?
- It’s time to add the veggies! Add 1 cubed carrot, 1 cup of frozen green peas, and 3/4 cup of long green beans cut into 1-inch pieces. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add 4 cups of cooked white rice to the pan. Stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes. This helps the rice absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce on top and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. You can also add salt if needed. Your Spam Fried Rice is ready! Get your chopsticks ready, and I’m sure a bowl of this fried rice will surely fill your tummies!

Spam Trivia!
Though we all think of the same Spam, Spam isn’t actually the name of the meat but the name of the brand. Spam is a brand of canned cooked meat made by Hormel Foods Corporation. The meat inside the can is a mixture of pork and ham, and it has become a popular ingredient in many recipes around the world. So, when you hear “Spam,” it’s referring to the brand, not just the meat itself.

And if you loved this Spam Fried Rice, why not try another version? This recipe utilizes some more meat, while possessing more of a peppery taste. Make some Bacon and Egg Fried Rice with Peas and Carrots too! Or try a bowl of Ham and Egg Fried Rice – this will surely not disappoint!
