Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice or long-grain or short-grain white rice, cold day-old
  • 1 can spam low-sodium, diced into ½" cubes
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup frozen diced carrots rinsed with cold water & strained
  • cup frozen peas rinsed with cold water & strained
  • cup frozen corn rinsed with cold water & strained
  • 1 small shallot finely chopped
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral tasting oil
  • 2 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt if needed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat a dry wok or large pan on medium-high heat. Then fry diced Spam until golden brown. Then add shallots and fry until softened.
  • Next add vegetable oil, green onions, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
  • Then add corn, peas, and carrots, and toss until evenly combined. Push everything to the side of the pan to make an empty space.
  • Then add the beaten eggs into the empty space. Let the eggs sit for 10-15 seconds first before scrambling and breaking up into bite-size pieces.
  • Add cold, day-old rice. Then pour regular soy sauce and dark soy sauce along the edges of the pan and let it sizzle for 5 seconds. Then add unsalted butter and if needed, add salt to taste.
  • Toss until evenly combined and the grains are no longer white. Season with sesame oil and garnish with more green onions. Enjoy!
