Equipment

  • Rice cooker or pressure cooker (optional)
  • Nonstick skillet
  • Kitchen shears or sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked Calrose rice (or any kind of medium-grain white rice)
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 sheet Nori, dry roasted seaweed
  • 1/2 can Spam (I like to use Spam "Lite")
  • 1 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (I usually use Yoshida's teriyaki sauce)
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt (to taste)
  • furikake (to taste, you can also just use toasted sesame seeds)
  • soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for serving (optional)
  • sriracha mayo (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to package directions. I usually cook my rice in an Instant Pot or rice cooker (see tips above). When rice is finished cooking, sprinkle rice wine vinegar over the top and then fluff with a fork. Keep warm.

  • While the rice is cooking, cut nori (dried seaweed) into 1" pieces and set aside (these don't have to be perfect). Set aside.

  • Dice spam into small dices and sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the edges start to brown. Reduce heat to low and add teriyaki sauce. Stir until spam dices are coated in sauce. Remove from pan and set aside, wrapping in foil to keep warm.

  • Wipe the same skillet clean with a paper towel and spray with cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook both eggs to desired doneness. For this dish I think sunny-side up is prettiest but you can cook the egg any way you like. Season eggs with salt to taste.

  • Divide rice, spam, nori pieces, and egg between two bowls. Top with furikake and optional toppings including soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sriracha mayo. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use Calrose, sushi rice, or another medium-grain rice for the best slightly sticky texture.
  • Brown the Spam before adding the teriyaki sauce so the edges can become crisp.
  • Reduce the heat when adding the sauce to keep its sugars from burning.
  • Spam Lite, regular Spam, lower-sodium Spam, turkey Spam, or teriyaki Spam can be used.
  • The eggs can be sunny-side up, over-easy, scrambled, soft-boiled, or cooked as a thin omelet and sliced.
  • For homemade sriracha mayo, mix ½ cup mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons sriracha, then adjust the heat to taste.
  • Optional toppings include avocado, pineapple, cabbage, coleslaw, edamame, cucumber, sesame seeds, and chili crisp.
  • Store the rice, Spam, nori, eggs, and toppings separately. Refrigerate cooked components promptly and use within 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat the Spam in a skillet for the best texture. Reheat the rice with a splash of water and cover it with a damp paper towel.
