Crispy Spam w/vegetable ramen and Spam Chips

Crispy Spam w/vegetable ramen and Spam Chips

A simple dinner of diced, pan fried spam, with 1/2 a ramen pack and frozen Asian veg. I use my own assortment of Asian seasonings. For diabetics - if you use half or 1/4 of the pack and load up on the protein and veg, you shouldn't have a major problem w/the ramen carbs. I don't seem to.

I diced the spam and sautéed it in the same pot I used for making the ramen. It was so crispy, it actually clinked up against the side of the pan. I removed it and set it aside, then added it back to the finished bowl. I wanted it to retain the crispiness and so didn't add it to the pot while cooking the ramen.

I mention the crispiness of the diced spam because I was going to post the following clip before I decided to use some leftover spam and had it in mind. I think these look good, but I'm not a fan of 'real' frying. The fried food is okay; I'm afraid of the grease. Based on how my diced Spam came out, I think thinly sliced Spam could just be pan fried and still come out very crispy. You if try this recipe, let us know.

Trying Every Spam I Could Get My Hands On (Video)

This is a 2 yr old video from New England Life & More. If you don't know this guy, he eats old (like 1950s, 1920s) food to see if it's still any good. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. I've been watching since covid, and I think he rarely gets a food that he won't at least try due to smell or deterioration. Not saying it's all good, but he ain't dead yet.

Spam with some kind of sauce

Still shot from video. Don't come for me.

There's no title for this recipe. It's pretty simple, just flour, evaporated milk, mushrooms, and butter to make a creamy sauce for pan friend Spam slices. I can't do dairy like that, and mushrooms generally give me the ick, but someone might think it looks good. I realize she's focusing on the Spam, but I think this might actually be a nice presentation if surrounded by some broccoli, small potatoes, and carrots.

Once More, Into the Breach...

Another picture of the scrambled eggs and Spam. I don't know why the other turned out so badly.

Hickory Smoke flavor

Hi Gang - I need to restock my Spam stash and am thinking about trying the Hickory Smoke flavor. I liked the Maple, but I see uneven reviews for other flavors. Do people like this one? I found that the Maple smelled great while cooking, but you don't get much of a maple flavor. That was fine, whatever flavor remained tastes pretty good. Is it the same for the Hickory Smoke or does the smokey flavor stay with the meat after cooking? Thanks.

Spam Fries Curly Version

Spam Fries

A few years ago, I made the regular Spam fries from thinly sliced Spam, pan fried to a crispness. This is a newer version. Looks cute. Might taste a bit different from Spam alone since you add egg to the Spam in the food processor to bind, but probably not.

I didn't see a time and temp on the video or in the description, so I asked my chatbot for guidance. She said to bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, until the squiggles are firm and lightly browned. Don't blame me if it doesn't work. She did say you don't want to bake it for too long - those 'fries' are very thin. Better to start at the lower time and add more if necessary, than go too long and they're burned or rock hard.

Potatoes, Peppers, and Spam

https://preview.redd.it/6klkon1408lh1.png?width=127&format=png&auto=webp&s=e37ffd1e37664a6a33204482df8483ac445b5511

I pan fried some Spam strips first (because I'm not a heathen ) and used cooked potatoes that I already had on hand and needed to use. I cut it up and roasted it in the pan with the peppers. Then put the Spam back in. You can add what you want, but it's supposed to be a simple meal. Don't complicate it. Though Giovanni suggests it for a summer meal, I can tell you this is going on my Wisconsin winter rotation. If you are using pantry foods, I'd suggest sliced canned potatoes. Dry them off first, before you put them in the pan.

Spam Tocino Corndogs and Underwear

This recipe uses Spam Tocino. I've never heard of that flavor before, but apparently it is Filipino. I've also never had a corndog, so I'm not sure how this compares.

"11 Crazy Easy Meals To Make With A Can of Spam"

https://preview.redd.it/gyypd4tkk2ah1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=026de6e672cf4d2df133edb9728bff3284b6e57f

simple recipes

The author suggests Spam if you are too broke to afford meat. I don't know if that's true. I can get a rotisserie chicken at Walmart for $3.97. $5.97 if I want it hot. A can of Spam is $4.14. I don't see Spam as a substitute for meat in terms of cost, just another type of meat. Still, it keeps well in the can and unused portions can be frozen - I slice mine up into serving sizes so that I'm not trying to thaw out a big hunk o'Spam.

Questions for the assembled masses:

  1. Should we be offended by the bottle of Pepto in the picture?

  2. Who had a phone like this?
