Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1: Whisk the Eggs

    In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and set them aside. Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, pour in the eggs and use tongs to scramble them gently for about 30 seconds, or until they’re just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and keep them aside.

    Step 2: Fry the Spam and Veggies

    Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan and sauté the Spam for about 2 minutes until the edges are crispy. Then, toss in the diced carrot, sliced spring onions, and minced garlic, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

    Step 3: Combine and Serve

    Introduce the cooked rice and soy sauce to the pan, mixing thoroughly to break up any lumps. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, ensuring that everything is well combined. Finally, fold in the scrambled eggs and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.
