Spam and Eggs

This is the dish my mom used to make whenever she ran out of time or ideas for what to cook for dinner. Kimchi is available at any Asian supermarket and now even at some larger grocery stores.

Makes 3 to 4 servings

1 12-ounce can Spam Classic

4 eggs

1 scallion, chopped thinly

1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil

Salt

Pepper

Slice Spam lengthwise into 8 equal pieces.

Whisk eggs and scallions in a mixing bowl.

In a skillet, fry the Spam slices over medium heat, 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove Spam from skillet onto a paper towel or plate.

Add oil to the same skillet, then pour in egg mixture. Fold over sides to form a long, flat tube shape. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove and slice into 2-inch wide strips.

Serve Spam and eggs with a side of hot white rice and kimchi.
