FOOD: Fried Rice

Let me preface this by saying my husband is Hawaiian.

Yes that's Spam you see. The first time I ever tried Spam, the then-boyfriend made fried rice and didn't tell me what kind of meat this was until I was finished eating and said how I much I liked it. 

Moral of the story: don't knock it until you try it! That being said, you can totally swap a different protein or just omit it entirely.

I HIGHLY recommend cooking your rice the day before and storing in the fridge so you don't end up with a sticky mass.

Use whatever veggies you have on hand!

Add in some sesame oil, soy sauce, and Sriracha. 

Top with a fried egg and Yum Yum sauce...soooo good 

And bam- an easy and cheap meal! I've added red bell pepper and pineapple in the past-both are delicious!

Fried Rice 

3 c white rice, cooked

Half a can of spam, diced, or another prepared protein if desired

Veggies of your choosing 

6 TBSP soy sauce (I always use reduced sodium)

3 TBSP sesame oil 

Sriracha to taste

Sautee protein and veggies until meat is slightly browned and veggies are softened. Stir in rice, removing any clumps. Warm rice through. 

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame soil then add to rice and mix until rice is evenly coated. Stir in Sriracha.

Top with a fried egg and Yum Yum Sauce if desired.
