Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz) Spam

- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (freshly grated) Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned white beans
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Dice the Spam into small bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and water to create a sauce. Set aside.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the diced Spam and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Step 8
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Step 9
Drain and rinse the canned white beans, then add them to the skillet along with the cooked Spam.
Step 10
Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle in the red chili flakes for a mild heat kick.
Step 11
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 12
Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and serve hot. Enjoy your Oriental Spam and Beans as a standalone dish or with steamed rice!
