Cooking with SPAM

This. Koreans love spam.

I think low-sodium spam (NOT spam lite) is the best choice for a standard spam flavor. The lower salt content makes it less bossy in most dishes.

If you're in a musubi/spam fried rice mood, I say slice it good and thick and pan fry it hot until its developed a nice dark sear on the outside. If you're serving it with eggs, try slicing it paper thin and frying it the same way. It crisps up nicely and takes on a texture similar to the meatier portions of extra-thick bacon.

The only flavored variety of spam I really like is jalapeno. With all the others the flavorings kind of overwhelm the taste of everything else.

>simple spam, egg, and cheese sandwich on a toasted hamburger bun

or

>cubed spam, egg, cheese, peppers, and onion in a burrito with some hot sauce.

also only get the original.

avoid all varieties with meat other than pork.

the original only has six ingredients. the other have a lot more

Pretty much any country thats in the pacific loves spam it seems. Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Hawaii(not a country), etc.

Sliced medium-thin, fried in a pan. Usually serve it with rice, eggs, or on a sandwich.

>eating dog shit

Fucking dirty West coast

>Stinky French Garlic

I keep wanting to try it, but I've been somewhat brainwashed by the years and years of "that's what poor people eat"

nice bangs

...

It's really just a cheap, processed, precooked ham. I'm not sure why you'd want to try it unless you were poor or stocking it for an emergency.

My dad used to fry this stuff up all the time back when we were poor. I fucking hate it. Always preferred the canned corned beef.

if you're trying to stay away from fried foods though baking it is alright too. But then again, why the fuck are you eating fucking spam, fry it you shitlord.

Because I've never had it before.

Imagine slightly gelatinous over salted pork fat. It's trash. Delicious artery clogging trash.

...

Had it fried tonight, alongside beet latkes, all doused in country gravy.

Yum.

I eat it on a slice of toast eggs benedict style, maybe with some spinach

Cubed and fried in a skillet, then added to Mac and cheese.

Good stuff desu senpai

A swell suggestion for a grand warm weather meal: a Spam summer platter. Open a can or two of Spam, S-P-A-M, slice and arrange around a large platter. Next a circle of luscious sliced tomatoes, then a ring of your favorite cheese, sliced. Decorate the platter with crisp celery, radishes, olives and raw carrots. With potato salad, iced tea or coffee, and a simple dessert, you bring to your table a perfect summer meal. Just wait until Dad and the youngsters taste those juicy slices of Spam, delicious meat that pleases every appetite because Spam is meat with a hearty he-man flavor. You'll like it too, because Spam is so easy to use. Ready to eat just as it comes from the can, Spam is always handy because it keeps without refrigeration. Serve a Spam summer platter soon. Ask your food dealer for Spam when you shop tomorrow, and try the easy recipes on the label. Then you'll discover that cold or hot, Spam hits the spot.

I had the spam in a rice ball in Hawaii once. It was pretty good.

Spamburger!!

probably not terrible if you pan-fried or grilled the spam slices to give them a firmer, meaty texture. Tomatoes, great, but swap in some Giardiniera with the other veggies. Crisp, sharp/spicy veggies, tender tomatoes, meaty salty/fatty spam..

yeah, just crazy enough to work.

Spam and Eggs
Spam Sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mustard

leave it on the shelf for the pacirfic islanders, flips and koreans to pick up

I understand Hawaiians love it. I heard one guy that has a small chain of restaurants say it's basically like a "pork pâté".

Honestly I'm not too fond of it unless it's fried or seared like a steak. Gotta get a little crunch to balance out softness of the meat in my opinion.

Then again I can't recall trying something like pâté; meat that's so soft you can spread it on crackers.

Oh, and I forgot to say you HAVE to put tobasco on it. Unless it's on a burger I don't want to eat it without tobasco.

It's so salty, bland, and mushy... gotta have a sear or fry it and apply condiments.

Just my opinion.

goes good with a side of macaroni and cheese

>pan fried spam with rice and eggs.
goes well with pickled chili peppers if you have them.

cubed fried in butter, then off the heat and add eggs and milk, salt and pepper, then normal scrambled eggs
