In this house we are almost always in the mood for a noodle or a rice dish.Tonight noodles won out and I made sesame noodles with SPAM®. Yes, SPAM®. Some folks hate it and some folks love it. I’m a Hapa girl from Oahu so I happen to love it.
Go crazy with your knife and whack up some SPAM®, celery, carrots, green onions and jalapeños. This time I seeded one of the peppers so that I wouldn’t run into the problem with my head bursting into flames as that can really mess up your hair.
 Pale SPAM® in need of browning. |
 Add soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic… |
 Add the vegetables and stir-fry for a minute. |
In the meantime, boil some linguine or other noodle of your choice. Once the noodles are al dente, add them to the SPAM® mix and toss over medium high heat.
 Boil your noodles |
 Add noodles |
Stir-fry for another minute or two. If it seems a little dry add a little of the pasta water.
Dinner is served. I used my favorite clear dishes that make it appear as though I’ve heaped dinner directly onto the tabletop.
Can’t beat Spam, it’s the staff of life. 🙂
Where in Oahu? My mom is from Kalihi, graduated from Farrington HS.
Hey there — I’m from Pearl City. My family left the islands right before high school but I would’ve attended Pearl City High.
