Cooking tips

  • Soaking spam in hot water for 1 minute before cooking removes its artificial saltiness and surface oil, making it much cleaner and smoother in texture.
  • Adding chili oil during stir-frying helps cut through the richness of spam and enhances the overall flavor and boldness of the dish.
  • Replacing soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of anchovy fish sauce adds deep umami to both the peppers and spam, creating a more appetizing side dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a new, exciting rice-friendly side dish using spam beyond the usual grilled version.
  • People who enjoy the crisp, sharp taste of fresh peppers paired with the salty richness of ham.
  • Beginners looking to achieve a consistently delicious stir-fry with minimal seasoning adjustments.
