Spam Kimchi Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 0.5 can Spam (diced)
• 0.5 Onion (diced)
• 1 stalk Green onion (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Kimchi (chopped)
• 1 bowl Cooked rice (preferably day-old rice)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Cooking wine (mirin or matsool)
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Red pepper powder (gochugaru)
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Dice the Spam into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a pan over medium heat and grill until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion, chopped green onion, and chopped kimchi to the pan with the Spam. Stir-fry until the onions become translucent and the kimchi is fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.

4. 4

   Season the mixture by adding 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, sugar, and red pepper powder.

5. 5

   Stir-fry everything together thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings and well-combined with the other ingredients.

6. 6

   Drizzle with sesame oil and toss one last time to incorporate the aroma.

7. 7

   Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.

Notes

For the best texture, use cold, day-old rice. If the kimchi is very sour, you can add a bit more sugar to balance the acidity.
