Ingredients
- 1 can Spam
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Open the can of Spam and remove the block of meat. Slice the Spam into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
Step 2
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil, allowing it to heat up for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the Spam slices to the skillet. Ensure each slice has enough space to cook evenly without overlapping.
Step 4
Fry the slices for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until they become golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Carefully flip each slice using a spatula and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Once both sides are fried to your desired crispiness, remove the slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the crispy fried Spam slices hot as a snack, or use them as a topping for rice dishes, sandwiches, or salads.
