Ingredients
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 12-ounce can Spam, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, sliced, whites and greens separated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
3 cups leftover rice
One 8-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Spicy BBQ Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
Dash sesame oil
Asian chile sauce, to taste
Directions
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the Spam and bell peppers. Cook until the Spam becomes crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the whites of the scallions, garlic, ginger and rice. Stir together and cook until the rice begins to crisp and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple, peas, soy, honey and lime juice. Stir together and continue to cook until everything comes together, another minute. Add to a platter and sprinkle over the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.
- For the spicy BBQ aioli: Quickly mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, sesame oil and Asian chile sauce. Drizzle over the fried rice before digging in.
