Step 1

Cook rice: Wash the rice in a sieve. Bring water to a boil, add some salt and the rice and simmer the rice according to the sort you are using and the package instructions (Note 1).

Step 2

Marinate spam: Mix soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and garlic powder in a bowl. Cut the spam into cubes, add them to the bowl, and stir to coat all over. Leave to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes (Note 2).

Step 3

Cook meat: Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. Lift the meat from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Don’t discard the marinade! Fry meat on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, often stirring, until the cubes are slightly crispy.

Step 4

Caramelize spam: Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and stir the spam for another 2 minutes or until the cubes are glossy and coated with the sauce.

Step 5

Pan: You will need another pan for cooking the eggs; the one you used before will be too sticky to use again without washing.

Step 6

Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in another bowl.

Step 7

Cook eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan. Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the beaten eggs. Leave untouched for 15-20 seconds or until lightly set at the bottom. Use a spatula to move the mixture around the pan and cook the eggs evenly into large folds. Move around gently for another 2 minutes or so until the eggs are mostly set. They will continue cooking slightly after you’ve turned off the heat.

Step 8

Serve: Arrange the ingredients on a large warm plate and serve immediately.
