- Cook the spam properly: Pan-fry the spam until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Add your vegetables last: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and soggy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Stir-fry the rice over high heat: This will help to create a nice crispy texture.
- Add the eggs at the end: This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
- Serve the fried rice immediately: Fried rice is best served hot and fresh.
