Spicy Kimchi Spam Fried Rice Recipe

My take on Spam fried rice has a bit of a Korean vibe thanks to the addition of smokey and spicy gochujang paste and the acidity of kimchi, but it gets dragged right back home thanks to the addition of sweet peas to contrast the salty sour flavours... and it is all done and dusted in well under 30 minutes!

  • Defrost the peas by running them under cold water for 3-4 minutes.
  • Slice the spring onions, start at the white end, finely slicing the white bits, increasing the size as you chop into the green end, finishing at around 1cm in length (just under ½").
  • Chop the garlic as finely as you can.
  • Remove the Spam from the tin and cut it into a 1cm (just under ½") dice.
  • Heat a wok over a high heat and when it is shimmering add the oil followed by the spam and stir fry for 2-3 minutes (or until it starts to become golden). Remove the spam from the wok with a slotted spoon leaving the oil in the pan.
