Can’t pick yourself up after a bad day? Eat this. Feeling fat and farty already? Even more reason to eat this. I call this dish “Fatty & Gassy TM”.
I got this recipe from John and while I think I’ve deviated a bit from his original idea, I think the dish turned up pretty good.
First up, you need the following ingredients to whip up this dish:
#1 – Rice enough for two people.
#2 – Baked beans. We prefer Heinz.
#3 – And the star of the dish – SPAM! Once this goes into your inbox, cannot delete one. Sorry, lame.
#4 – Olive oil because it’s healthier although there’s really no point for this dish.
Cook the rice however you like as long as the end result is white, fluffy rice. While the rice is cooking, start on the other ingredients.
#5 – Pop out the Spam.
#6 – Cut it into cubes and separate into two portions.
#7 – Now pop the beans into a pot. On medium heat till it kinda simmers, you definitely do not want to burn it.
#8 – Pop one portion of Spam into the baked beans and mix it up.
#9 – You’ll get this disgusting baked beans and Spam concoction which smells kinda heavenly if you’re into that sort of thing.
Time to deal with the other portion of Spam. Now, pick one cube up and pop it into your mouth. Chew. Swallow. Repeat.
Just kidding!
#10 – Heat up some olive oil in a pan.
#11 – Dump the remaining Spam into the oil. Brown the Spam cubes on all sides.
#12 – Till they become like this. Like croutons, only instead of bread they’re made up of lard and pork meat.
#13 – Remove Spam cubes from pan and drain oil.
And you’re almost done!
Scoop a bowl of rice, dump it onto the plate. Then pour baked beans + Spam mixture over the rice. Lastly, sprinkle Spam croutons all over. Just like this:
#14 – Tadaa!
#15 – A closeup of Fatty & Gassy TM. YUMMY!
Till later, poot poot.
my newly acquired dorm-kitchen-cooking stomach and tastebuds approve!! :D must try this recipe
This is soul food! I know SPAM is probably as bad/worse than McD’s but its divine!
looks delicious!!!!
eh olive oil not healthy cos it cannot be charred/boiled.
that’s what i heard.
That’s what my mum always do!
I cooked it once for my friends and they said they’ve never seen anyone cook SPAM with baked beans before. I thought it’s a common dish. Apparently not. LOL
you could add onions and fried eggs to your beans. but you do not need oil, just fry the spam and its natural oil will brown itself. here is how i do mine….
fry a couple eggs and break the yolk. make sure it cook it thoroughly, then break the egg into small pieces with your spatula. add anions and cubed spam and brown them without adding any additional oil… then add beans, siracha (for spice) some sugar and pepper. minimal utensils used. =)
it’s all oily, dirty and awesome! lovesss it
ah pau: good luck!!
ms bloom: actually think it’s prolly worse thanks to the salt content haha
jess: thanks!
yee hou: really!!! hm i need to read up on this and warn my folks
justin: my mom cooks it too! but she always add garlic and egg which gives off a kinda oriental vibe (or maybe it does because i’ve been having it since young therefore it’s chinese :P). i guess it’s not as common as we think haha
crash: that’s exactly how my mom makes it! delish :)
ky: cook it!

looks like regular olive oil is ok, but stay away from extra virgin olive oil for frying
aylien: thanks for the link! oh it’s just the boiling point difference nothing to do with health. phew.
