屋企嘅餐肉蛋飯


I couldn't get the idea luncheon meat out of my head after watching the play and smelling it cooking over the weekend. Of course I had to indulge in a can of luncheon meat. 'Spam Lite', this can stated. Surrrre. I don't fry up spam as often now. It is highly processed meat. So I'm more conscious about eating it, but it doesn't mean that I'm less enthusiastic about it. 

I'm not that big on spam fried rice. That would do, but I prefer to eat it as spam with Japanese short-grain rice, a sunny-side up, and bok choi. This combination is my ultimate comfort meal. It's very hard to get this at the food centers. The 'best' iteration is to assemble this plate myself. I get to choose my vegetables. 

I steamed up chicken for the dog and the husband. Stir-fried bok choi. The electric rice cooker settled the husband's basmati grains. I wanted short-grain rice which was boiled in the donabe on the stovetop. Then proceeded to fry up spam. It truly isn't as oily as the old-school Ma Ling luncheon meat. Spam Lite is also easier on the grease, but additional oil is still not necessary in searing these slices.

While I waited for my rice to settle in the donabe, I fried up eggs. The dog and the husband ate their dinner first. Then I cleaned up a little. Then it was time for my dinner. Ahhh...... what a comforting meal. Spam is still satisfying! Heh.

I must try Spam next time. The recent piece of luncheon meat that my dad cooked for dinner didn't taste good. It was Tulip can - I think plastic tub version tastes normal/better.

I‘d love to use Ma Ling. My OG brand. But i don’t see that anymore.
