Turn the Spam out of the can and dice it.

Rub a little oil into the wok and heat until it smokes.
Heating the oil and scrambling eggs
  • scrambled eggs
Add the rest of the oil and immediately scramble the eggs; remove them.
Add half the diced Spam and let its fat render out until it crisps and browns.
  • day old rice
Use day-old rice, cooked the day before, spread on a sheet tray and refrigerated overnight so it dries out and crumbles apart.
  • chopped scallions
Add chopped scallions and toss, then add the rice and eggs with more oil and toss over high heat.
  • white pepper
  • salt and MSG blend
  • soy sauce
Season with a little white pepper and a salt and MSG blend.
Drizzle a little soy sauce around the hot sides of the wok so it scorches rather than soaking into the rice; toss, taste, and serve.
Clean the wok: rinse, wipe out the oil, and heat on the burner to dry it.
