Cooking tips

  • Make sure to fully fry the spam on all four sides until crispy like a snack, so it stays firm even when simmered in the sauce and doesn't become soggy.
  • Avoid adding extra oil—use only the natural fat rendered from the spam to sauté the onions, which enhances flavor and richness.
  • For children or milder taste, omit the green chili pepper entirely and sprinkle about 3 pinches of black pepper just before turning off the heat.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to upgrade leftover holiday spam beyond simple grilling into a delicious one-dish side dish.
  • Anyone wanting to quickly prepare a universally appealing, savory-sweet, fast-paced salty-sweet side dish in just 15 minutes.
