Jac didn’t need a packed lunch last Monday, so I just threw together something quick and easy for my bento -SPAM cubes and mushrooms, salad (mixed greens, green beans, homegrown cherry tomatoes), leftover potato salad and fruit (grapes, strawberries and prunes). I panfried the SPAM and mushrooms and allowed them to cool completely before pack…
For dinner last Wednesday night I made fried rice with SPAM, green beans, corn kernels, onion, garlic, egg and oyster sauce – that’s probably my favourite combination of fried rice ingredients. I cooked enough for a decent feed and for bento the next day.
Another quick and delicious SPAM meal I cooked for myself recently – turkey SPAM cubes stir-fried with bok choy, mushrooms, garlic and soy sauce, served on rice.
Here’s a recent variation on my old favourite of SPAM and egg with rice and baked beans. As I fried the SPAM in the pan, I also fried mushrooms, which I’d sliced in half. When SPAM and mushrooms were nicely browned, I poured into the pan a couple of eggs that I’d beaten with soy […]
I cooked this quick dinner for Jac and myself last Tuesday night: a stir-fry featuring SPAM, onion, mushrooms, green beans, cherry tomatoes and macaroni. I fried the SPAM cubes with chopped onion in the wok first, then added the mushrooms and green beans when the SPAM and onion were nicely browned, the SPAM with slightly […]
All I wanted was to have my say, and I’ve done that. So let’s move on to nicer things, shall we? :) Here are some of the meals I ate recently, on the long weekend. By coincidence, guess what food item is featured? You guessed it! SPAM! But I’ll start with something a little more […]
I’ve discovered and become a big fan of Shinzi Katoh‘s work recently. When I saw this Shinzi Katoh bento box featuring a cute little cat, I just had to buy it! It’s a two-tier box with a lid that has clips to hold the tiers together, so no bento belt is necessary. Jac didn’t need […]
Having cracked open the tin of turkey SPAM, I just had to use some in fried rice with onion, garlic, crunchy green beans and egg. I flavoured the rice with tamari and black pepper. I don’t think my cooking would ever impress anyone, but I always enjoy eating what I’ve cooked. This to me was […]
As I was on leave last week I had time to cook myself some breakfast on Tuesday morning. I woke up feeling like fried SPAM and egg with baked beans and rice for breakfast. I dug around the pantry looking for a tin of SPAM, and shock, horror – no SPAM! Somehow, I’d let my […]
I cooked up a batch of fried rice for bento last Wednesday evening after I had my dinner. Our bento lunches consisted of: Fried rice (with turkey SPAM cubes, green beans, baby corn, onion, garlic and egg, flavoured with Tamari and white pepper, just like the soba noodles we had the previous week) Oven-baked butternut […]
