Ingredients

• 1 can Spam
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Remove the Spam from the can and slice it into 8 equal pieces (about 1/4 inch thick).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and sriracha (if using). Set the glaze aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, place the Spam slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the glaze mixture over the Spam. Turn the slices gently to coat them evenly in the glaze.

Step 6

Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and cling to the Spam slices.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the glazed Spam slices to a serving plate.

Step 8

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Pair with steamed white rice, a vegetable side dish, or use as a topping for noodles. Enjoy!
