What can I say about SPAM that hasn't already been said... probably not much. I can honestly say that I had never tried SPAM until pretty recently, and the following recipe is currently the only way that I choose to enjoy it, but wow... I never knew what I was missing. I'm still not brave enough to try the SPAM burger, which the can is usually enticing me with, but I could definitely see myself enjoying it in a variety of breakfast applications.
Christie's family was lucky enough to spent a couple years in Hawaii when she was very little and this is where my mother-in-law picked up this recipe. SPAM seems to be revered in Hawaii for some reason, it's found in all kinds of dishes there, so it's only natural that it be paired with the other thing that Hawaiians eat large amounts of... rice. I'm pretty sure you're able to get a side of rice at McDonalds' in the Aloha State.
Rice is always something that I make too much of, so making a smaller portion of this recipe would be a great way to use up any extras that you find yourself with. Also, as a note, this recipe works just as well without the SPAM... although, you'll probably want to add some vegetables (see below).
