Spam Fried Rice is a beloved traditional fried rice recipe that’s the ultimate comfort food. You can make this in 30 minutes or less, and serve it as a main dish or as a side dish.
Growing up with Filipino parents and with my Lola Epyon (my great-grandmother) living with us, I ate a LOT of spam fried rice.
I mean: a lot. A lot, a lot, a loooottttt of Spam fried rice.
And to this day, the smell of garlic and onions sizzling alongside that savory spam brings back warm memories of childhood. Spam Fried Rice is the ultimate comfort food.
I’ve been making this easy spam recipe at home since my own kids were born (nearly two decades ago!). It’s a go-to recipe I can make from memory, and one I think my kids may someday make with the same amount of love and nostalgia.
I am excited to share this very special and personal recipe with you. And, I hope that this fried rice recipe earns a special place in your own dinner rotation!
