Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz) Spam
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients: slice the Spam into thin rectangular pieces, shred the cabbage into strips, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the green onions.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the slices of Spam to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Remove the Spam from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir to combine it with the garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Return the Spam slices to the pan with the cabbage. Stir everything together and season the mixture with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish the Spam and cabbage mixture with sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
Serve hot as a main dish or alongside steamed rice for a complete meal. Enjoy your Hawaiian Spam and Cabbage creation!
