Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add Spam. Cook until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a plate.

Step 2

Heat sesame oil in the same skillet until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add onion; sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat; add rice and frozen vegetables; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Push rice mixture to edges of skillet; add 4 beaten eggs to center. Cook and stir until curds form, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir 1/2 Spam into scrambled eggs, then stir into rice mixture to combine. Add soy sauce and Sriracha; stir, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Crack remaining 4 eggs into a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook until outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are completely set, about 4 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Place fried eggs on top of fried rice; add reserved Spam. Garnish with nori, scallions, and sesame seeds.
