How To Make Fried Rice

www.mercifulg.blogspot.comLearn how  to make quick fried rice recipe with the the famous Spam canned goods.  Filipinos love receiving these canned goods thru "balikbayan box"  because they can make variety of dishes out of one can, so who wouldn't? And yes, the canned corned beef too.  I learned that they are favorites of Hawaiians too!  They're made with  pork meat mixed with preservatives then canned commercially by Hormel Food Corporation. Have you tried making fried rice with them?  I use the dish as side dish for dinner or even for breakfast!  Serve with fried eggs, sausage or bacon.  I understand there are plenty of salt in canned goods, so with my Spam, I prepared them by rinsing the sliced ham before frying and when it slightly dried up, I rinsed them again. The flavor stays but lesser salt for me.
