Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • potato, appropriate amount
  • Spam, appropriate amount
  • 2 tbsp starch powder
  • mozzarella cheese, to taste
  • generous amount of cooking oil
  • a little honey

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the potato and Spam into appropriately sized pieces, place them in a microwave-safe container, and microwave for about 5 minutes until cooked.
  2. Put the cooked potato and Spam in a bowl and roughly mash them with a tool. Do not mash too finely; break only the large chunks to preserve texture.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of starch powder and mozzarella cheese as desired to the mashed mixture, and mix evenly to form a batter.
  4. Heat a pan, add a generous amount of cooking oil, and place the batter on it, spreading it into a thick shape.
  5. Cook over controlled heat until the bottom is golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side until golden as well.
  6. Transfer to a plate and finish by drizzling sweet honey as desired.
  1. Microwave the potato and Spam for 5 minutes, then roughly mash.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of starch powder and mozzarella cheese to make a batter.
  3. In a generously oiled pan, spread the batter thickly, cook until golden on both sides, and serve with honey.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Mashing the potato too finely reduces the chewy texture, so it's best to break it only into large chunks.
  • The Spam already contains fat and seasoning, so the dish tastes salty without adding extra salt.
  • Dipping the finished pancake in sweet honey or oligosaccharide enhances the flavor balance.
