What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Waste Not, Want Not: Hawaiian Spam Breakfast! Not everyone is on the same page when it comes to breakfast. Some prefer a bowl of cereal in front of the tv, others like yogurt and fruit while checking their email, and some are perfectly happy with their morning cuppa joe watching the sunrise. That’s where this recipe comes in handy. It is a Hawaiian meal for one.
It takes only a couple minutes to heat and eat. So when everyone comes crowding into the kitchen because it smells so good, just roll your shoulders and say, “You already had breakfast.”
HAWAIIAN SPAM BREAKFAST
Ingredients:
10.5 ounce package heat-and-eat microwaveable rice
2 slices Spam* brand canned meat
1 egg, scrambled
1 green onion, snipped
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Fresh cilantro
Instructions:
Microwave rice according to package directions. Spray a small skillet with nonstick oil. Over medium-high heat, quick-fry 2 slices of Spam. Flip to get both sides crispy. Chop into bite-size pieces. Set aside. Crack an egg into a small dish. Whisk to break the yolk. Spray the small skillet again with nonstick oil. Pour the egg mixture into the pan using the same setting, medium high. Cover. Cook one minute. Remove lid, break up the egg with a spatula. Turn off the burner. Replace the lid for one minute longer. Transfer rice to a bowl, add Spam, scrambled egg, green onion snips, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce. Mix well. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with chopsticks.

Honestly, it has gotten a bad rap. The (13) varieties in the supermarket are unbelievable. Teriyaki, turkey, garlic, jalapeño, cheese, etc.

It was a new ingredient to me and when cooked with other things or a sauce it’s good. My stores didn’t have all the varieties but I almost ordered the 12 cans from Amazon – which would take me forever to eat 🙂

Since I did my post on SPAM two months ago the price at Amazon went up over $10.00!!! I haven’t been to the grocery lately and they are saying beef/chicken/pork/lamb are going through a shortage and there is a limit of 2 packages per person. Maybe I had better buy those 12 cans of SPAM 🙂

This brings back memories! My mom always had a can in the cupboard, and she used it in a hundred different ways!
