What is spam?

Spam is a precooked processed meat that comes in a can.

It is made from chopped meats that are first cooked and then pressed together.

Spam is primarily made from pork ham, pork shoulder, and ham (like the one you get from the deli).

Spam can be used for many different things such as a sandwich filling, for sushi, on noodles, or with fried rice.

What Rice Do I Use?

It is important to use the right kind of rice when making fried rice. This is because different rice types give a different texture when cooked.

When making fried rice, it is best to use a long grain rice. Long rice rice types, such as basmati rice, is firm when cooked correctly and does not stick together like some other rice types.

Certain fried rice recipes may call for other kinds of rice, such as short grain (for example sushi rice), or even medium grain rice.

In those cases, you can use those types of rice.

This recipe uses day-old cooked basmati rice. This is because day-old rice has less moisture in it.

By using day old rice, it makes the final texture of the fried rice nicer. It also makes it easier to separate the rice grains apart when cooking.

Additionally, by cooking the rice the day before, it allows the rice to dry out. This means the cooked fried rice will be less moist and more crisp.

If you don’t have any leftover rice, you can still make fried rice.

You can make fresh rice on the day you are making the fried rice.

Using freshly cooked rice will still work, it will just result in your fried rice being a bit more moist.
