Notes

  1. When choosing the type of spam for this recipe, make sure you choose a good flavor of spam!
  2. Furikake, a Japanese dry seasoning, is a great way to add extra flavor and spice to your eggs and spam. Start by heating some oil in a pan, then add the spam and cook it until it is lightly browned about 5 minutes.
  3. You can use regular eggs in this dish, but if you have duck eggs available, they are a great option for adding extra richness and creaminess.
  4. One of the best ways to steam rice for your spam and eggs is using a rice cooker. The rice adds a wonderful texture and flavor to the dish, so be sure to use high-quality rice.
  5. Spam caramelization is a great way to add even more flavor and texture to your eggs and spam.
  6. Mirin, a sweet Japanese cooking wine, is another great way to add extra flavor and depth to this dish. Try whisking some mirin into your eggs before adding them to the pan, or using it as a sauce for your spam and rice.
