Ingredients

Glazing Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs, whisked
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper

Spam and Sugar

  • 1 can (12 oz) Spam, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Bowl and Garnishes

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • Furikake (to taste)
  • Green onion, sliced (to taste)
  • Fried garlic (see Expert Tips for preparation)

Instructions

  1. Make the glazing sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and water until fully mixed. Set this sauce mixture aside for later use.
  2. Prepare the eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with salt and white pepper to season evenly.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and gently stir and fold them slowly with a rubber spatula until the eggs just begin to set on the bottom but remain wobbly and glossy on top. Remove from heat and set aside to keep warm.
  4. Cook the Spam: Using the same pan, heat over medium until hot. Add the diced Spam and sear each side until browned and crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  5. Season the Spam: Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the Spam cubes and toss to coat. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and continue to toss the Spam, allowing it to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens and forms a shiny glaze coating the Spam.
  6. Serve: Place the cooked white rice in bowls, top with the caramelized Spam and scrambled eggs. Garnish with fried garlic, furikake seasoning, sesame seeds, and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, prepare fried garlic by thinly slicing garlic cloves and frying them in oil until crisp and golden. Drain and sprinkle over the final dish.
  • Use freshly cooked white rice for the best texture and warmth when serving.
  • Adjust sugar and soy sauce amounts according to your desired balance of sweet and salty.
  • The spatula technique for scrambling eggs ensures soft, custard-like texture with a glossy finish.
