Fried Rice

Serves 2

Ingredients

- 1.5 cup Jasmine rice, cooked and left overnight (or at least an hour in the refrigerator)
- 1/2 can of SPAM Lite, chopped into small cubes
- 2 large eggs, beaten.
- 3/4 cup Chicken stock
- Spring Onions (shallots)
- Dark Soy Sauce
- Pepper
- Sambal, for serving


Method

- Place cubes of SPAM in large frying pan and fry for about 8 minutes. Pour onto medium plate/bowl.
- Add eggs into frying pan and scramble until cooked. Pour onto plate/bowl containing the cubes of SPAM.
- Pour cooked Jasmine rice into frying pan and add half of the 3/4 cup chicken stock. At this point, the rice would have been hardened from the cold temperature of the fridge. Add cubed SPAM and eggs in.
- Fry until rice softens. Add remaining chicken stock and a dash of dark soy sauce. Pour in spring onions (shallots) and pepper (any amount) and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Serve on plate with sambal.
