🛒 Ingredient Tips
For the main ingredient, Spam, it's better to choose a moderately priced product rather than a very cheap one, as Spam's unique salty and savory flavor defines the dish.
For scallions, choose ones with vivid green tops and not too thick stems, ensuring they are fresh.
Avoid those with wilted or yellowed ends.
For eggs, fresh ones taste better and have less odor, so select those with unbroken shells and smooth surfaces.
It's also important to check the expiration date.
🔄 Substitution Guide
You can certainly enjoy this dish with ingredients other than Spam.
If you find Spam too salty or oily, try using chicken breast ham or low-sodium ham.
The flavor will be milder, but it can be a healthier option.
If scallions are unavailable, finely chopped white parts of green onions (대파, dae-pa) can add a fragrant touch, but adjust the amount as their aroma can be stronger than scallions.
For those with egg allergies, you can mix tofu or mashed potatoes with the rice, form them into balls, and wrap them in seaweed (김) to make rice balls.
The taste and texture will be different, but you'll discover a new charm.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
There are two key cooking points in this recipe.
First, when stir-frying the Spam with soy sauce, mirin (맛술), and oligosaccharide syrup, maintain medium-low heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
The sauce should reduce until it's slightly thick and gives the Spam a glossy finish.
Second, when making the rolled omelet, always use low heat.
You must add the Spam rice before the egg mixture fully sets so that the egg can gently wrap around the rice.
If the egg is overcooked, it might tear or not roll properly when you add the rice.
Keep these two points in mind, and you'll be able to create a beautiful rolled omelet without fail.
👨🍳 Directions
Slice 5 slices of Spam thinly, then dice them.
Blanch the diced Spam in hot water to remove excess saltiness, oil, and impurities. (This step can be omitted, as mentioned in the tips).
Heat a suitable amount of cooking oil in a pan, then stir-fry the blanched Spam until golden brown. (Cooking oil can be omitted as Spam releases its own oil).
Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin (맛술), and 1 tbsp oligosaccharide syrup to the stir-fried Spam and continue to stir-fry until the sauce reduces and coats the Spam.
Finely chop 1 oz of scallions.
Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, add 1 tbsp tuna sauce (참치액) (can substitute with salt), and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk well until combined.
Add the chopped scallions to the egg mixture and mix well.
Combine 2 cups of cooked rice with the reduced Spam. Sprinkle with a suitable amount of sesame seeds and mix thoroughly. (Wiping off excess oil from the Spam with a paper towel before mixing with rice makes it easier to form into shapes).
Pour a suitable amount of cooking oil into a heated pan. Pour the scallion egg mixture into the pan and spread it thinly to form a wide omelet.
Before the egg mixture fully sets on low heat, place a long strip of the Spam rice mixture onto one end. Gently roll the egg mixture over the rice from that end.
Once rolled one turn, lift the cooked portion slightly and pour additional egg mixture underneath to connect with the new roll. Once the new egg mixture is slightly set, continue rolling.
Once fully rolled, press down gently and cook all sides until golden brown and firm.
Remove the cooked Spam and Scallion Rolled Omelet Rice from the pan and let it cool slightly. As it cools and firms up, slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Arrange neatly on a plate and drizzle with a suitable amount of ketchup to finish.
💡 Tips
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or onions. You can also substitute scallions with green onions (대파, dae-pa). Instead of Spam, try tuna, imitation crab, sausage, or other luncheon meats for a delicious variation.
When stir-frying Spam, you can omit cooking oil as Spam releases its own oil. Wiping off excess oil from the Spam with a paper towel before mixing it with rice makes it easier to form into shapes.
Always cook the rolled omelet over low heat. If the egg sets completely before you add the rice, it will be difficult to roll, so make sure to add the rice before the egg is fully cooked.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste. The step of blanching Spam in hot water can be omitted.
