Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching spam in boiling water removes its strong salty taste and greasiness, leaving a much cleaner, more balanced flavor.
  • Do not cook spam and onions together—moisture released from the onions can make the spam soggy. Always cook spam first and set it aside before frying the onions.
  • Cook the onions thoroughly until they develop a light caramelized color; this creates deep sweetness and rich flavor without needing excess sugar.
  • For children or those sensitive to spice, you may omit the green chili pepper entirely.

Recommended for

  • Those who find spam too salty and hesitate to cook with it.
  • People looking to quickly transform leftover spam and onions into a delicious side dish.
  • Anyone seeking a reliable, universally loved side dish with a satisfying sweet-salty kick.
