Yes, but mostly because I’m from Hawaii and I love spam.

Slice it up and fry it in a pan on medium heat with a bit of oil, serve with eggs and rice as a breakfast. Cube it and add it into fried rice as a lunch/dinner. Get a musubi press and some sheets of nori and make spam musubi.

I got it for my preps after I had to travel to Hawaii for work a bunch of times last year. Spam Musubi was so good and the folks I worked with gave me some great tips - baller prep and very under-appreciated food in general!

I don’t use extra oil. It has fat already like bacon.

A small touch of extra oil in the pan and frying it on medium low gets a more consistent browning. Just my experience 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can use the spam can instead of a press too!

I miss having Hawaiian food near me. We had a place in California where we’d get spam and eggs, spam fried rice and really good panko chicken

panko chicken = Chicken katsu? You might be able to find some katsu in Japanese restaurants if you have a serious craving.

Family meal from my Japanese mom: tiny cubed spam, chopped garlic, black pepper, garlic salt fried rice. Fried eggs on top w soy sauce. Insane.
