With Jac away, it didn’t take long for SPAM to feature in a meal. It was the usual combo, which long-time readers have seen on a number of occasions: SPAM fried with egg, rice, and baked beans and corn. I beat two eggs with soy sauce and white pepper before pouring it into the frying pan where the SPAM was browning and crisping up nicely.
One more sleep, and Jac will be home. I can’t wait!

Hello! I’ve not commented in a while but I’ve really been enjoying reading all of your posts (I subscribe to your RSS feed). I’d never thought of using soy sauce to make scrambled eggs or omelettes salty! Does it taste strongly of soy, or does it just add saltiness? It seems to make the eggs look a really lovely golden colour, I might try it out! Hope you are well, and thank you again for producing such an enjoyable blog. It’s really inspiring and it’s making me want to start one too!

Hey! I’ve been a longtime lurker of your blog, and now I’ve had the guts to comment. I love how you show food the way it’s supposed to be shown – unedited. And looking at your posts make me hungry, I love Asian food! Keep posting the good stuff!

I hope the cats have been good company while Jac’s been away. It’s never a dull moment when you have cats. When are we going to see more pictures of them =p?

My mom always puts soy sauce in her eggs when she makes a stir fry or fried rice! Your pictures make me miss her cooking.

I keep meaning to make Spam and eggs in this way. It looks great!

Do you ever season your spam with anything when you have it with eggs and baked beans?

Hi Rosie,
No worries about not commenting. I must admit I very rarely leave comments at the blogs I read. Mostly because I don’t have anything interesting to say most of the time. :) The egg cooked this way has a definite soy flavour, which I love. The soy and the white pepper taste great in fried egg. We buy free range eggs, which do have lovely bright orange yolks, which is why the cooked eggs have the nice strong colour too. Let me know the address if you start your own blog!
Hi Ellie! Glad you enjoy it. And don’t worry about lurking, I have far more readers than commenters! :)
Mathew,
That’s because it IS good! Heheheheh.
Zaw,
There will be at least one coming up in the next couple of weeks. They are always very good company.
Megan,
My mum even seasons the minced beef with soy sauce before using it in bolognese sauce. :)
Asian Aisle,
I hope you’ll do it!
hannah,
I never season the SPAM as it’s pretty salty as it is (and I like that flavour), plus I season the eggs with soy sauce and white pepper anyway. I never season the baked beans and corn.

Can you say what brand of spam you usually have?
Is there healthy brand of spam?

Bitsy,
Authentic, original, real SPAM is made by Hormel Foods. That’s the brand we buy. Everything else is NOT real SPAM. :) I use SPAM Lite. Tried SPAM Salt-Reduced once – never again. It was too bland. Turkey SPAM is healthier than the pork-based SPAM and SPAM Lite – but has a slightly less satisfying texture (to me, anyway). But I do eat Turkey SPAM from time to time as well as SPAM Lite. See the Hormel Foods SPAM page for more info. Overall, SPAM is not really a healthy food though – no matter what kind you have. But everything in moderation is ok, right? :)
