Spam Clay Pot-like Rice


This is my twist on the classic Cantonese sausage clay pot rice. Instead of using using lap cheung and clay pot white rice, I used Spam and stir fried brown rice.

UPDATE: I procrastinated writing this recipe so it may not be completely accurate. If you found something that isn't right, please tell me and I will update it.

INGREDIENTS
  • 6 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 can SPAM sliced into 1 in by 1/2 in and 1/4 in thick pieces
  • 8 black mushroom caps, stems removed and sliced
  • 1/2 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried shrimp coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • dash of sesame oil
  • dash of white pepper
  • 1 sprig of cilantro (leaves only) roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Pan fry SPAM until crispy. Remove SPAM pan and set aside.
  2. Combine soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil into bowl and set aside.
  3. Add canola oil to pan and heat on high until just smoking.
  4. Add dried shrimp and ginger to pan and stir fry for 30 seconds.
  5. Add mushrooms to pan and stir fry for 3 minutes.
  6. Add SPAM back into pan and then add the rice. Stir fry to mix.
  7. Add soy sauce and pepper to mixture. Stir fry for 3 more minutes to thoroughly mix.
  8. Add cilantro and quickly mix.
  9. Remove rice from heat and serve hot.
