A flavorful meal that kids will love, featuring savory Spam combined with aromatic scallions.
📝 Editor's Notes
✨ Spam and Scallion Rolled Omelette Rice is a hearty and delicious meal featuring savory Spam, aromatic scallions, and tender eggs. The fluffy egg wraps around the sweet and salty Spam rice, creating a flavor loved by all ages. It's not difficult to make, just take your time with the omelette!
🛒 Ingredient Tips
💡 Besides Spam, you can use other ingredients from your fridge like tuna, crab sticks (크래미), or sausages for a different flavor. If you don't have scallions (쪽파), finely chopped green onions (대파) work well. When serving to children, add finely diced vegetables like carrots or onions along with the Spam to boost nutrition. Seasoning with salt instead of tuna sauce (참치액) is also perfectly delicious.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
🍳 The most important part is to make a beautiful rolled omelette! Maintain low heat, spread the egg mixture widely, and place the Spam rice before the egg is fully cooked, then roll slowly. After stir-frying the Spam, lightly pat off the oil with a paper towel to help the rice bind better and reduce saltiness. Adding more egg mixture as you roll will result in a thick and appetizing omelette.
👨🍳 Directions
- 1
Open the Spam can and slice 5 pieces of Spam thinly.
- 2
Blanch the thinly sliced Spam in hot water to remove excess salt, oil, and impurities. (This step can be omitted.)
- 3
Cut the blanched Spam into thin slices, then dice them.
- 4
Heat a pan with a little cooking oil, then stir-fry the diced Spam. (Spam releases its own oil, so you can omit adding cooking oil.)
- 5
Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp oligosaccharide syrup (올리고당) to the stir-frying Spam and continue to cook until reduced.
- 6
Finely chop 30g of scallions. (You can use green onions (대파) instead of scallions (쪽파).)
- 7
Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, add 1 tbsp tuna sauce (참치액) (can substitute with salt), and a dash of pepper.
- 8
Whisk the egg mixture well.
- 9
Add the finely chopped scallions to the whisked eggs and mix well.
- 10
Combine 2 cups of cooked rice with the reduced Spam, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and mix well. (Before adding the Spam, pat off excess oil from the Spam with a paper towel for easier shaping of the rice.)
- 11
Lay plastic wrap over a bamboo mat (김발). Place the Spam rice mixture in a long, rectangular shape. Fold the sides of the plastic wrap first, then roll it up to enclose the rice. Use the bamboo mat to press firmly and shape the rice so it doesn't fall apart. (You can also roll the rice in seaweed.)
- 12
Lightly grease a pan with cooking oil and heat it. Pour in the scallion egg mixture and spread it thinly to form a large omelette. Make sure to cook it slowly over low heat.
- 13
Before the egg mixture is fully cooked, place the shaped Spam rice onto it. Gently roll the omelette from one end, slowly wrapping the rice. Take your time and be patient to ensure a beautiful shape.
- 14
Pour additional egg mixture onto the partially rolled omelette. Slightly lift the rolled part to allow the new egg mixture to flow underneath and connect seamlessly.
- 15
Once the new egg mixture is slightly cooked, continue rolling. When fully rolled, press firmly to cook and rotate to brown all sides evenly. Once cooked, remove from the pan and let it cool slightly.
- 16
Once the Spam and Scallion Rolled Omelette Rice has cooled slightly and firmed up, cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- 17
Arrange the cut omelette rice on a plate, drizzle with ketchup, and enjoy!
💡 Tips
You can add other vegetables such as carrots or onions, according to your preference.
You can also substitute Spam with other ingredients like tuna, crab sticks (크래미), or sausages for a different delicious flavor.
When making the rolled omelette, always keep the heat on low to prevent burning and ensure even cooking for a beautiful result.
When adding the rice to the rolled omelette, make sure to do so before the egg mixture is fully cooked, so the rice doesn't fall apart and rolls up well.
Blanching Spam in hot water removes excess salt, oil, and impurities, but this step is optional.
