Ingredients

Scale
Rice
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil (divided)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced, about 1 tablespoon)
- 5 ounces Spam (slice into small cubes)
- 1 cup peas and carrots (frozen)
- 3 cups day-old cold rice
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Cook eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the surface. Pour in the eggs, letting them spread across the oiled surface. Use a spatula to push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing any uncooked egg to fill the empty spaces. Once the eggs are set but still slightly wet on top, chop them into bite-sized pieces with the spatula. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Cook Spam: In the same wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the Spam cubes and cook over high heat, tossing until crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and toss with the Spam until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
- Add the frozen peas and carrots, cooking until they’re no longer frozen, about 1 minute.
- Add rice and toss it with the other ingredients. If the rice is clumped, gently break it apart by gently stamping it with the bottom of a large ladle. Gently fold in the eggs and toss everything together.
- Season with oyster sauce, white pepper, and sesame oil. Cook on high heat, stirring and tossing constantly, for about 5 minutes to develop wok hei, the smoky flavor that comes from cooking over high heat.
Notes
You can substitute ground white pepper with ground black pepper.
