Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dice Spam into small, uniform cubes so they crisp evenly and distribute throughout the rice.
Add soy sauce and sugar to the rice cooker water before cooking to flavor the rice, not after.
Top with the fried egg just before serving so the yolk stays runny and warm.
Mix in green onions and furikake after the rice is cooked to preserve their fresh texture and bright flavor.

Substitutions

Spam → bacon, diced ham, or corned beef (adjust salt accordingly)
White rice → brown rice or jasmine rice (adjust water ratio and cooking time)
Soy sauce → tamari (gluten-free) or coconut aminos (lower sodium)
Furikake → sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, or bonito flakes

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the microwave with a splash of water to restore rice texture. Do not store the fried egg separately; add a fresh one when serving.

Common Questions

Can you make this Spam and egg rice bowl without a rice cooker?

Yes. Cook rice on the stovetop in a pot, then fry the Spam separately and poach or fry the eggs. Combine and serve with toppings.

What type of Spam works best for this rice bowl?

Classic Spam (original) is traditional and dices easily. Spam Lite or other varieties work, but original Spam gives the best crispy texture and flavor.
