Spicy spam rice bowl

This is my spicy, cheesy take on a spam rice that I make all the time! When you microwave rice with spam on top, all that delicious fat from spam gets mixed into the rice, and a combination of gochujang and ketchup seasons the rice perfectly!

This is THE rice bowl to make when you want something incredibly delicious with little to no effort⁣⁣.

INGREDIENTS

• Cold rice

• 1 Tbsp gochujang

• 1 Tbsp ketchup

• 1/2 cup spam, chopped

• 1 tsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

• 1/4 cup pickled radish (optional)

• 2 scallions, chopped (plus more for garnish)

• 1/2 cup cheese (mozzarella or cheddar preferred)

• 1 egg

• Chili crisp for garnish

• Crispy seaweed for serving

* Serves 1

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add cold rice, gochujang, ketchup, and diced Spam to a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes.

2. Remove the lid and mix everything well. Season with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chopped pickled radish, and scallions. Mix again.

3. Top with cheese and a cracked egg (poke the yolk to prevent it from exploding). Cover and microwave for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the egg is cooked to your liking.

4. Garnish with scallions and chili crisp. Serve with crispy seaweed on the side.

NOTE: If you're not a fan of Spam, feel free to swap it out for other proteins like rotisserie chicken, sausage, or canned tuna!
