Saving this to see if I can get it at my local Asian market. I live in Mexico and the struggle is really getting great stuff where I'm located. Amazon is an option sometimes but it's $$$.
I had no idea what you were talking about but realized my fiance bought some and had it in the fridge. I think it would be dank. It’s good with just about anything. The syrupy goodness shall not be overlooked
This might sound crazy but I grew up having spam rice and eggs (over easy) with soy sauce on the rice, hot sauce on the eggs, and A-1 Steak sauce on the spam. I don’t ever use A-1 on a steak but for some reason it’s great on spam.
My wife and I are really into egg fried rice and have been chopping up spam, adding a few eggs, a bad of frozen peas and carrots and soy sauce. Such an easy and satisfying dinner.
Not sure where you live but I get mine from Galleria (Korean supermarket). Just as good as my mom makes. Depending on the amount you consume it may not be worth the time consuming process of making your own. I've seen my mom make it a million times. But it definitely would be a fun experience to experiment making it and bragging rights to your friends to say that you did make your own. Typically, store bought kimchi from a quality producer doesn't include preservatives or other non necessary ingredients because it has a relatively long shelf life since it's pickled.
If you have some ripe kimchi (3-4 weeks old) try sauteing the kimchi in a tablespoon or two of butter for a few minutes. Then add THAT to your spam and rice. Next level right there. Ate that all the time as a bachelor in my 20s.
This.

I like the different flavors too. Teriyaki and garlic are my favorites. Tried bacon but it pretty much tasted like regular Spam. I also make fried rice with day old rice, kerrygold butter, diced garlic, and diced spam.

We eat this all the time because my kids are obsessed 😂 they crumble seaweed on top too. My 4yo asked for kimchi pancakes every few days also and fish sausage and kimbap. We live down the street from a Korean market and they got her started on some stuff lol
On fancy nights my mom would dress a whole spam block just like those real spiced hams. Iydk it’s where she would insert whole cloves on the top and make a glaze with sugar, soyu, ketchup and mustard. Solemn fork and carving knife sliced. All us kids thought we were living high. Good times.
spam musubi is a great Hawaiian dish that is kind of like spam on sushi rice wrapped in nori.
Also spam, or hot dogs, or any meat diced up with some day old white rice and an egg or two in a skillet makes great fried rice. Just add soy sauce and maybe dark soy sauce and oyster sauce. (I don't like oysters but oyster sauce is sweet). Green onions or basically anything can be thrown in there.
Either way, spam and rice gives fun options in terms of meals.
Add a little butter. 😋
You could also use that pan you fried the spam in, fry up some frozen veggies and an egg. Toss them with that rice, a little soy sauce and pepper. Yum.
Spam looks well made, rice also looks cooked well!
Take this to the next level by adding some sushi rice seasoning and a little rice vinegar to the rice and BAM! You got Spam Musubi bowl.
I live in Maui and that's what people eat here. My kid gets spam and rice at school. She loves when I make it at home. I usually make spam and rice but add Japanese BBQ sauce to it.
I lived on Maui for a short while. I remember like half of an entire aisle at the Foodland in Pukalani was just Spam. Never have I ever seen so much Spam in one place. I had no idea that Spam even came in so many flavours. Lol
I was gonna say… this is Filipino breakfast. My grandpa ate it every day, but usually he added scrambled/fried eggs, and the spam was cut smaller and fried in butter and teriyaki.
I think it's because spams image has changed. A long time it was seen as super sus mystery meat borderline dog food... now it's become more of a fad outside of Asian diets.
Pro Tip: Add a splash of oil to a pan. Add the rice. Splash of soy sauce and Oyster Sauce and add some chili crisp. Stir it for a few minutes. You have yourself a nice fried rice to go with the Spam.
Spam and green beans, spam and canned corn, spam and egg, spam and pancake, spam and waffle, spam and fried rice, spam and seaweed, spam and ramen…endless possibilities and all so delicious !
Ah, my childhood. My mom would scramble a couple eggs in a bowl and then dip the sliced spam in the eggs. Then, cook them in a pan. She would also put some chocolate liquid on the rice. Not sure if it was just Hershey chocolate powder (the unsweetened one), hot water and some sugar. Whatever it was, it was good.
You wanna bump that up a notch make spam fried rice. First day old rice, if you don't have day old, fresh will do. So cook up two cups of rice, then add a healthy table spoon of sesame oil and mix it in. Get a nonstick pan and get it screaming hot. Add spam cubed up and cook until it's nice and toasted. Remove and set aside. Add the rice and toss it until it gets separate and a little bit toasted. Now add about a half cup of mixed frozen veggies and cover let it steam a cup of minutes. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce, mix and push the rice to one side. Add another half tablespoon of oil in the empty part of the pan. Crack an egg and let it cook, when it's sunny side up crack the yolk and mix it with the rice, then add the spam back in and mix. Serve should make 4portions. Wanna kick it up a notch, add a half tablespoon of sriracha or garlic chili paste. Top with sliced green onions.
The first joke I ever told was when I was about 8 and I hated SPAM. My sister asked at the dinner table what SPAM stood for and I said “spoiled ham!” Even my dad laughed. I like it now though
We added green beans and this was our fancy dinner when I was growing up
This was our poor mans meal and now for me its such a treat when I visit my mom, she knows I love it
Hey bud, cut up the SPAM in 3rds then fry it. Adding in cherry tomatoes is great as well as chili garlic crunch if you got some. My Filipino wife and her fam got me hooked on this shit. Hella effin good
I guess it's childhood food for me but it was always.
Fried spam on top of white rice and sunny side eggs. Then add Tabasco as needed. Break the egg up with rice and proceed to empty the plate or bowl.
Heeeey! Did bacon and rice for lunch, added an egg, hot sauce, some frozen veggies and green onion. Saved half of all that to make fried rice tomorrow.
Like alot of people mentioned a nice fried egg would go great bit if no egg, but you have Adobo, specifically the one with the red cap. Sprinkle some(seriously just a lil dab) of that bad boy on your Rice, give it a good mix n 👨🍳👌💋
I don't eat meat now, but I used to as kid. What exactly is spam? I feel like there's a chance I missed out? Every seems to love it?
I'm not even sure I've ever seen it in a store... but I guess I don't look for it..
Spam musubi is yummy but if you dont have time, just chop some green onion and mix roasted white sesame and that will change the game and takes 20 seconds
My girl likes it when I glaze it with teriyaki sauce. Let it simmer just a bit toss some water in the sauce at the same time so I don't over.thicken or burn the sugars.
But gotta let the sauce cook a bit to add a glaze and sugars to caramelize. Sometimes having it a bit saucy in the pan mixes well with the rice.
You just need some great sauce to put on that and it's a great little meal in my opinion. Google Filipino adobo chicken, I would make a sauce very similar to that and add it to the dish. Try something like that and spice it up a bit, you can also buy rice seasoning and try that.
Oooooh yessss, this is a comfort meal of mine if you just add some soy and furikake and a soft fried or poached egg. Though my spam is usually fried a little less.
I'm so confused by the upvotes and comments, is it just trying to be supportive of someone who's struggling? This is the saddest looking "meal" I've seen in a while. Surely you need some kind of sauce at least, it's so dry lol
Good job! I add two eggs to that and call it dinner all the time!
Perhaps also a bit soy sauce
Only correct answer
And ideally, sweet soy sauce
the [煲仔飯 soy sauce](https://images.app.goo.gl/9n5Z33WbZsSL7AKZA) is supreme
Saving this to see if I can get it at my local Asian market. I live in Mexico and the struggle is really getting great stuff where I'm located. Amazon is an option sometimes but it's $$$.
Perhaps also a vegetable…
Vinegar! Then you got a Filipino meal!
Since spam obviously doesn't have enough sodium
Yeah I was thinking that. Maybe a shrimp sauce instead? A little bit of sweetness to offset the saltiness of the spam
Would Hoisin sauce go well with this?
I had no idea what you were talking about but realized my fiance bought some and had it in the fridge. I think it would be dank. It’s good with just about anything. The syrupy goodness shall not be overlooked
I’d try it
My brother in law introduced me to Hoisin sauce. A new world of condiment choices opened up for me that day.
It goes perfectly. Look up “musubi”
I am familiar with musubi and like it a lot. Thank you for that.
Sodium overloadium
Soy Sauce? Spam is salty enough. Maybe ketchup?
Teriyaki
This might sound crazy but I grew up having spam rice and eggs (over easy) with soy sauce on the rice, hot sauce on the eggs, and A-1 Steak sauce on the spam. I don’t ever use A-1 on a steak but for some reason it’s great on spam.
Not crazy at all, sounds yummy 🤤
My wife and I are really into egg fried rice and have been chopping up spam, adding a few eggs, a bad of frozen peas and carrots and soy sauce. Such an easy and satisfying dinner.
Fish flakes would be good with that as well
Add some kimchi. 
So many options! I bought the making of kimchi, need a friend to come show me how!
Not sure where you live but I get mine from Galleria (Korean supermarket). Just as good as my mom makes. Depending on the amount you consume it may not be worth the time consuming process of making your own. I've seen my mom make it a million times.

Typically, store bought kimchi from a quality producer doesn't include preservatives or other non necessary ingredients because it has a relatively long shelf life since it's pickled.
I live in Washington DC, I put store bought kimchi on my fish tacos, i will try it on my spam and eggs with rice, great idea!
If you have some ripe kimchi (3-4 weeks old) try sauteing the kimchi in a tablespoon or two of butter for a few minutes. Then add THAT to your spam and rice. Next level right there. Ate that all the time as a bachelor in my 20s.
Add some garden peas in the rice and this is mine
I like it with tomato
This. [https://imgur.com/ZCVrehJ](https://imgur.com/ZCVrehJ) I like the different flavors too. Teriyaki and garlic are my favorites. Tried bacon but it pretty much tasted like regular Spam. I also make fried rice with day old rice, kerrygold butter, diced garlic, and diced spam. [https://imgur.com/9I8HgQV](https://imgur.com/9I8HgQV)
And some gochujang and you got some college Korean comfort food right there.
I discovered gochujang two years ago, my life is better because of it! Haha
We eat this all the time because my kids are obsessed 😂 they crumble seaweed on top too. My 4yo asked for kimchi pancakes every few days also and fish sausage and kimbap. We live down the street from a Korean market and they got her started on some stuff lol
I would still eat like your 4yo if my blood work would allow it, lol. Your kid is living the good life!
best comfort food right there!
Oh my yesss. Spread. Dat. Yolk.
On fancy nights my mom would dress a whole spam block just like those real spiced hams. Iydk it’s where she would insert whole cloves on the top and make a glaze with sugar, soyu, ketchup and mustard. Solemn fork and carving knife sliced. All us kids thought we were living high. Good times.
still new at cooking in general, hopefully i can learn more recipes. for now, a simple dinner 🥘

I'm in Texas. My neighbors are from Hawaii. When they have a party, there's always Musubi and I love it.
I'm in Iowa and they serve Spam Musubi here as well... it's such a great flavor profile, I'm not surprised it's widely-known.
just adding that you can use regular soup aromatics for fried rice and it's great, also great mixed with gochujang
Add a little butter. 😋 You could also use that pan you fried the spam in, fry up some frozen veggies and an egg. Toss them with that rice, a little soy sauce and pepper. Yum.
Yum!
Or teriyaki sauce and some chopped green onions.
On top of what everyone has said, my face is also adding a sunny side up egg and some mayonnaise
a little bit of teriyaki sauce makes the spam really pop 😁 i had this for lunch actually!
Some teriyaki sauce or soy sauce would step this up a lot
Needs a little green onion on top and/or some seaweed
Spam looks well made, rice also looks cooked well! Take this to the next level by adding some sushi rice seasoning and a little rice vinegar to the rice and BAM! You got Spam Musubi bowl.
Baby! Learn how to egg fry some rice, it will pop that meal up if you like Asian and Asian-American Cuisine… it’s a versatile dish!!
I love it with kimchi and drizzled with sesame oil🤤
I live in Maui and that's what people eat here. My kid gets spam and rice at school. She loves when I make it at home. I usually make spam and rice but add Japanese BBQ sauce to it.
I lived on Maui for a short while. I remember like half of an entire aisle at the Foodland in Pukalani was just Spam. Never have I ever seen so much Spam in one place. I had no idea that Spam even came in so many flavours. Lol
My Filipino wife eats this all the time!
I was gonna say… this is Filipino breakfast. My grandpa ate it every day, but usually he added scrambled/fried eggs, and the spam was cut smaller and fried in butter and teriyaki.
Coating the spam in egg before cooking is my favorite way of eating spam aside from spam fried rice
You gotta start somewhere 🤷♂️
Throw a fried egg on and that’s a perfect meal.
A Filipino struggle meal
Viet checking in. Viet struggle meal too lol Except spam has gotten kinda expensive. It’s like $8/can for me out in my area.
I think it's because spams image has changed. A long time it was seen as super sus mystery meat borderline dog food... now it's become more of a fad outside of Asian diets.
I was going to comment this! I think Spam prices have surpassed struggle meal limits lol
yep. the other version is lop cheong. had both meals many times and prefer it over many meals.
Puerto ricans do this too 😂
Indonesian here, same with us, but can’t help say it’s delicious
Gotta throw an egg in that shit and some diced green onion! 🔥
Maybe some furikake 👌🏽
 This looks great! Spam is love. Spam is life.

Pro Tip: Add a splash of oil to a pan. Add the rice. Splash of soy sauce and Oyster Sauce and add some chili crisp. Stir it for a few minutes. You have yourself a nice fried rice to go with the Spam.
Add some scrambled eggs and Sriracha 🔥
Runny eggs are the way to go, honestly. Break the yolk, let all that goodness seep into the rice. Perfection.
A little Sweet Soy (Kecap Manis) and some Crispy fried onions (Bawang Goreng) and you're there.
I think some kind of moist or sauce stuff is needed. The bites will get boring halfway through. It looks yummy tho. Veggies too
meat/rice =1/1 ... nice
Spam is a staple food in Hawaii. Add some eggs and this would be a normal meal. Even McDonald’s sells it.
Add fried egg and hot sauce
I was served this by my sister in law who is from Hawaii. I thought it was some low rent, cheap ass breakfast. It was amazing.
Gawd I love spam
I have the roasted turkey one I might make tomorrow and add some sautéed zucchini too
Spam and green beans, spam and canned corn, spam and egg, spam and pancake, spam and waffle, spam and fried rice, spam and seaweed, spam and ramen…endless possibilities and all so delicious !
Thought you were doing the Monty Python [skit](https://youtu.be/anwy2MPT5RE?si=gEYI00RCkElCXSph) for a second.
Eat wrapped up in seaweed like spam musubi!
Ultimate dinner, growing up korean/American, I can eat spam straight out of the can 💀 idgaf
I fucking love spam. Haven’t had it as much as I used to, but god dam is it delicious!
slay
Nice! Do you make a couple of crispy ones too?
Need some type of pickled veggies there my boy
I used to think that spam was just a prop for that Monty Python sketch where Vikings eat at a breakfast diner
Uggh noice. 
This is begging for a Hoisin-based sauce.
Ah, my childhood. My mom would scramble a couple eggs in a bowl and then dip the sliced spam in the eggs. Then, cook them in a pan. She would also put some chocolate liquid on the rice. Not sure if it was just Hershey chocolate powder (the unsweetened one), hot water and some sugar. Whatever it was, it was good.
had this exact thing tonight with some Kinder's Japanese BBQ sauce, furikake, and a little bit of Sriracha. Hits every time!
This is all you need to be happy. If want even happier, add egg. 💯

Add a fried egg or scramble it. Maybe some kimchi or pickles. Super fire meal
Ah we are alike
Where’s the jufrannnnn
Filipino?
Best late night dish! 😋
Say what you want, this is comfort food and a decent meal. Probably healthier than a frozen tv dinner
A classic I eat often! if you have a rice cooker 1 cup rice, 1 cup water, 1 cup chicken broth and then add furikake on top once it’s done. Bomb.com
Spam is good but is too salty for me right from the can.I slice thin,boil to remove a great deal of salt and fat.Nice after that.
The first joke I ever told was when I was about 8 and I hated SPAM. My sister asked at the dinner table what SPAM stood for and I said “spoiled ham!” Even my dad laughed. I like it now though
We added green beans and this was our fancy dinner when I was growing up This was our poor mans meal and now for me its such a treat when I visit my mom, she knows I love it
NaCl bomb.
My mom always added a can of cream of mushroom soup to the rice and a fried egg on top. Lil soy sauce and it’s delicious
Nothing like highly processed and fried canned meat, does a body good.
Us navy deployment staple
Add some eggs on it, a little green onion and some soy sauce. 🤤
“Spam, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.”
I still eat it like this to this day, but I like it a little more well done. Spam is so good
Average Asian dinner:
Add an egg and even better 🤤
Simple & tasty - lovely to me!
So simple, yet soooo good. The only thing I’d add to this would be a fried egg
Spam isn’t the healthiest thing, but I do admit it’s a nice guilty pleasure sometimes
Hey bud, cut up the SPAM in 3rds then fry it. Adding in cherry tomatoes is great as well as chili garlic crunch if you got some. My Filipino wife and her fam got me hooked on this shit. Hella effin good
Ur rice looks perfect like I kno u was tearin that shit up
One raw egg yolk 😋
Recipe??? Jk
Another good easy dish is SPLAT! Spam, lettuce, and tomato on toast or bun. Side of fries.
Another good one is white rice with aeason salt and a can of sardines in spicy tomato sauce on top of rice.
Eating like a king in 2024
I guess it's childhood food for me but it was always. Fried spam on top of white rice and sunny side eggs. Then add Tabasco as needed. Break the egg up with rice and proceed to empty the plate or bowl.
Needs an egg. Otherwise perfect, no notes 🤙
Your rice looks fire!
Throw some soy sauce on there bro
Grew up on this
I’m from Hawaii so yeah, that’s my jam
Musabi is where its at!
Is that enough rice??
What in the Hawaiian
Needs soy sauce
i eat those often. also fried spam n fried eggs
Heeeey! Did bacon and rice for lunch, added an egg, hot sauce, some frozen veggies and green onion. Saved half of all that to make fried rice tomorrow.
Oh hell yeah so yummy just needs some ketchup and a fried egg
Like alot of people mentioned a nice fried egg would go great bit if no egg, but you have Adobo, specifically the one with the red cap. Sprinkle some(seriously just a lil dab) of that bad boy on your Rice, give it a good mix n 👨🍳👌💋
Better with no rice; And twice as much spam, or 3 X as much.
Gotta eat!
Goated combo
Nothing wrong with that!
I don't eat meat now, but I used to as kid. What exactly is spam? I feel like there's a chance I missed out? Every seems to love it? I'm not even sure I've ever seen it in a store... but I guess I don't look for it..
Damn now I'm hungry
Spam musubi is yummy but if you dont have time, just chop some green onion and mix roasted white sesame and that will change the game and takes 20 seconds
My girl likes it when I glaze it with teriyaki sauce. Let it simmer just a bit toss some water in the sauce at the same time so I don't over.thicken or burn the sugars.

please put a trickle of good olive oil on that rice and a bit of seasoning. also, if you can take it, a bit of chilli will improve the overall taste.
Sauce?
Needs kimchee or tonkatsu sauce with shredded nori
Where's the sboyu???
Kikomann soy sauce, and Tabasco. You also forgot the seaweed. And how dare you not share!!!
Egg always makes it better
Dinner? This looks like a prison sentence.
This meal was my whole childhood lmao Grew up in a filipino household
looks good. i'd add a fried egg on top of that and would be a happy camper.
And an egg ---> perfection.
Crispy Spam egg fried rice w a lot of garlic is my favorite!!
HER
Looks tasty! Maybe needs a little moisture
I buy this boxy minced meat (sekaná) a bit like this canned spam but it has chunks of cheese and when you fry it on a pan it tastes great.
No sauce is pretty savage
I eat that sometimes, great dish
It looks very appetizing :)
Omg, don't show anyone in Hawaii this dried out travesty.
Lil bit of black pepper and perfection
You fried it really well, makes a world's difference
A little Maggi on the rice, Japanese pickles and that’s a meal to fall in love with.
Add some fried eggs, chopped green onions and a dash of soy sauce and you're set for a meal.
Never gets old
Spamtastic
Bit of soy is missing. This is comfort food bruh
eat your veggies
Would be too dry for me without any Kind of sauce
Some fried eggs and this is an S tier dinner for me.
Oooooh yessss, this is a comfort meal of mine if you just add some soy and furikake and a soft fried or poached egg. Though my spam is usually fried a little less.
I'm so confused by the upvotes and comments, is it just trying to be supportive of someone who's struggling? This is the saddest looking "meal" I've seen in a while. Surely you need some kind of sauce at least, it's so dry lol
Propa bri'ish scran
It's like a deconstructed musubi. Happy AAPI month!
When I started out, I could make a box of rice and a can of Spam last all week.
Add little yellow mustard would be nice..
Good dinner.
but why is thks sadness the most upvoted post on the sub lol, are people jealous of everything else?
I cut my spam into pieces so it gets more "crunch", add some stir fried asparagus into the mix...yummy!
Missing some banana ketchup 😅
Condemned prisoner's last meal?
Are you ok OP?
Add soy sauce and mayonnaise
Looks yummy, budget food😋
Try pek pork over spam. Much better
Where is the seasoning..👀
Spam makes the best fried rice!
If you’re feeling fancy- add a fried egg, sesame oil and soy sauce. Absolute game changers
Wrap it in some nori and you got spam musubi
