Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 12-ounce can Spam, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, sliced, whites and greens separated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
3 cups leftover rice
One 8-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
Dash sesame oil
Asian chile sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the Spam and bell peppers. Cook until the Spam becomes crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the whites of the scallions, garlic, ginger and rice. Stir together and cook until the rice begins to crisp and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple, peas, soy, honey and lime juice. Stir together and continue to cook until everything comes together, another minute. Add to a platter and sprinkle over the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.
  • For the spicy BBQ aioli: Quickly mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, sesame oil and Asian chile sauce. Drizzle over the fried rice before digging in.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your fried rice. Use the best quality rice you can find, as well as fresh vegetables and meats.
  • Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If the rice is overcooked, it will become mushy and the fried rice will not be as good.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will give the fried rice a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: When you are cooking the fried rice, don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly and will make the fried rice mushy.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: When you are cooking the fried rice, add the ingredients in the correct order. This will help to ensure that the rice is cooked evenly and that the flavors are well-blended.

Conclusion:

Colorful fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious fried rice that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give colorful fried rice a try!
