3 Simple Tips for Making Homemade Pineapple Spam Fried Rice

Here are 3 easy to remember tips to keep in mind when making your own homemade fried rice recipes like this:

• Use rice that’s a day or two old. The best rice for making fried rice is old rice, usually between one to two days old. Rice that has already been cooked fries easier and doesn’t clump as much as uncooked rice.
• The bigger the better. You should be using a large (or even extra large) sized wok or skillet when making fried rice. This will help to make sure that all of the ingredients cook evenly – and quickly, at that.
• Mix things up. Another benefit of using a large sized wok is that it will leave you plenty of room to work with when it comes to adding in a variety of tasty ingredients. This recipe is a great example as you’ll need the space to move your Spam and veggie mix to the side so that you can scramble the eggs.

Can I Store This Pineapple and Spam Fried Rice for Later?

Yes, you can store any leftover pineapple and Spam fried rice in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just allow the rice to cool completely after cooking and then seal it up tightly in an airtight container before storing in the fridge. The rice can also be frozen like this for up to one month.
