Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or chicken broth)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Stir fry
- 2 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 4 eggs , beaten with a pinch of salt
- 1 can low sodium Spam , diced
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 1/2 cup white onion , finely diced
- 1/2 cup carrot , finely diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 4 cups day-old cooked rice (Jasmine rice, or medium grain rice)
- 3 scallions , finely sliced
Instructions
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add the eggs. Scramble lightly until just cooked. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the spam. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic, onion, carrot, and peas. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
- Move everything to one side of the pan and add the rice to the empty side. Add a splash of oil onto the rice for a better texture. Stir and cook to toast the rice on one side of the pan, until the grains are separated. Pour in the sauce and mix well with the rice. Then stir everything together. Keep cooking and stirring until the rice is coated evenly with the sauce.
- Return the cooked eggs to the pan and add the scallion. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until everything is mixed and the green onions have softened. Taste the rice and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, if needed. Serve hot as a side dish or a light main dish.
