Broccoli and Spam Stir-Fry image

In this Thai-inspired stir-fry, a quick sear gives Spam a crispy yet melt-in-your-mouth texture, and a finishing drizzle of vinaigrette balances the salty rich ham with an herbaceous lift.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Vinaigrette
1 garlic clove, finely grated
3 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
3 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. finely chopped mint or cilantro
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Assembly
1 large or 2 small heads of broccoli (about 1 lb.), ½" trimmed from stem
1 Tbsp. tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. finely grated peeled ginger
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced crosswise, rings separated
Kosher salt
1 (12-oz.) can Spam classic, sliced into ¼"-thick planks, planks halved lengthwise
1½ cups cooked farro or brown rice

Steps:

  • Vinaigrette
  • Whisk garlic, oil, vinegar, and mint in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Assembly
  • Hold broccoli so crown is resting against the cutting board and stem is pointing up and slice through stem all the way down through the crown to create ¼" -thick planks. Working one at a time, lay planks flat against the board and slice lengthwise through stems to create ¼"-thick strips with florets attached on top.
  • Mix tamari, ginger, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to combine. Set tamari sauce aside.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain and immediately season with salt.
  • Set skillet with oil back over medium-high and cook Spam in a single layer, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Cook broccoli in same skillet, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in farro and reserved tamari sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Mix in Spam and transfer to a platter or plates. Drizzle reserved vinaigrette over and top with crispy shallots.

I'm not a big fan of spam, but I thought this stir-fry was pretty good. The spam was cooked well and the broccoli was still crisp. The sauce was a little too salty for my taste, but overall I enjoyed the dish.

I thought this stir-fry was just okay. The spam was a little too salty for my taste and the broccoli was a bit overcooked. I would probably not make this again.
