Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add diced Spam (6 oz). Cook for 4-5 minutes until edges are crisp and browned, then push to one side of the skillet.
2. Step 2: Crack in 2 large eggs on the empty side and scramble gently until just set but still soft, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil, diced carrot (1 small), frozen peas (1/2 cup), and cooked rice (2 cups) to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for 3-4 minutes until heated through and vegetables are tender.
4. Step 4: Drizzle 1 tbsp soy sauce over the rice, sprinkle 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss to evenly combine. Finish by folding in sliced green onion (1 stalk) and cook for another 30 seconds before serving.
