Stages of cooking
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Spam and fry until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
-
Heat sesame oil in the same pan until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add onion and sauté until it softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add rice and frozen vegetables; mix and fry until heated through, about 5 minutes. Push rice mixture to the sides or edges of the pan, add beaten eggs to the center, and scramble until curds form, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Stir half of the Spam back into the pan and mix eggs in with the rest of the rice mixture. Add soy sauce and Sriracha. Mix and remove from heat.
-
Crack remaining eggs into a skillet over medium heat. Cook until outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are completely set, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Place fried eggs on top of the fried rice, add reserved Spam; garnish with nori, scallions, and sesame seeds.
