Main Ingredients- 1 can Spam (approx. 200g)
- 3 eggs
- A little bit of green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the green onions. Wash them thoroughly and pat them dry. Finely chop the green onions into pieces about 0.3 cm thick. The fresh aroma of the green onions will infuse into the egg mixture, significantly enhancing the flavor of your Spam and Egg Pancake.
Step 2
Next, let’s prepare the Spam. Open the can of Spam and use a paper towel to gently wipe off any excess oil from the outside. This will make the finished pancake cleaner and more delicious. Now, slice the Spam into bite-sized pieces. First, cut it in half lengthwise, then slice each half into pieces about 0.5 cm thick. Try to keep them at a moderate thickness so they don’t fall apart easily.
Step 3
In a large bowl, crack in the 3 eggs. Add all the chopped green onions you prepared earlier. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs until they are well combined. Mix the green onions and eggs thoroughly to create your egg batter.
Step 4
Now, let’s cook the Spam and Egg Pancake! Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Arrange the sliced Spam pieces attractively in the pan. Once one side of the Spam is lightly golden brown, flip them over and lightly cook the other side. At this point, gently press the Spam pieces to create a pleasing flower-like shape; this makes them look even more appetizing. Once the Spam is lightly cooked, pour the prepared egg mixture over and around the Spam pieces. As the egg cooks, it will naturally bind with the Spam. Cook over medium-low heat, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and the pancake is cooked through. Your delicious Spam and Egg Pancake is ready! It’s best enjoyed hot.
