Why Spam Rice Balls Are a Go-To Meal

If you're like me and don't enjoy complicated cooking, Spam rice balls are a lifesaver. With just rice, Spam, and a sheet of seaweed, you can create a delicious meal in no time.

Just three ingredients—Spam, rice, and seaweed—make the perfect bite-sized treat.

You can also switch things up with tuna, stir-fried kimchi, or perilla leaves to create unique flavors that never get boring.

Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor

Ingredients for 2 Servings

  • Cooked rice: 2 bowls (approx. 400g)
  • Spam: 1 can (200g)
  • Seaweed sheets: 3 sheets
  • Eggs: 2 (for egg garnish)
  • Chopped scallions: A small amount
  • Mayonnaise: 1 tablespoon (optional)
  • Seasoning: 1 tbsp sesame oil, pinch of salt and pepper, 1 tsp sesame seeds
Easy 3-Step Assembly

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Cook the Spam

Slice Spam into 0.7cm thick pieces. Grill both sides over medium heat (no oil needed) until golden and crispy. Drain excess oil using paper towels for a cleaner taste.

2. Season the Rice

Mix slightly cooled rice with sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and sesame seeds. Optionally, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise for a richer taste—just don’t overdo it or your rice balls may fall apart.

3. Prepare the Egg

Beat and fry the eggs into a thin sheet, then slice into strips. This can be used as a topping or stuffing. You can also replace it with a soft-fried egg for a gooey yolk touch.

4. Assemble the Rice Balls

Wet your hands slightly, take a spoonful of rice, add a bit of mashed Spam and chopped scallions in the center, and shape into round or oval balls. Wrap with seaweed before serving to keep the crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Should I use freshly cooked rice?

    A: Slightly cooled rice works better. Hot rice can be sticky and harder to shape.

  • Q: Can I skip Spam?

    A: Absolutely. Feel free to use tuna, stir-fried anchovies, or any leftovers as a filling.

  • Q: Is mayonnaise necessary?

    A: Not at all. It enhances flavor, but too much can affect the texture of your rice balls.
