Learning how to cook spam is as simple as one, two, three. If you're on a healthy diet or wish to cut back on fatty food, you could easily fry spam without the use of cooking oil. Just heat the oil to just past the desired temperature and slice or chop the spams into matchsticks. Then, place the Matchstick in a frying pan and fry in the oil for just a few minutes until brown and crisp.
An air fryer makes it easy because the process is so simple. All you have to do is put a few spams in the air fryer, adjust the settings to low and away you go. The cook time will depend on how long you cook them in the air fryer. Usually, it takes about 5 minutes.
Most of us are looking forward to getting the frozen, pre-cooked type of spam from the grocery store. But in reality, canned food such as this is better than frying spam. Can it hold up to the high heat of the air fryer? Unfortunately, it can't and it's best to stick with fresh home made canned food like this.
To make sure that your Spam comes out golden brown all the time, try to use a food processor or a food chopper to make your Spam as smooth as possible. When using a processor, be careful not to chop up too much of the Spam. Otherwise, all the Spam in your packet will become chunks. When chopping, be sure to get rid of the seeds and any extra fat.
Now, let's talk about how to eat Spam when it's fully cooked. You can either eat it hot or cold depending on your personal preference. Personally, I prefer to eat mine cold. I love my cookies & pastries cold and enjoy eating them that way. Most people don't care for them though unless they've been fried.
In order to learn how to fry spam without burning your skin or getting an earful of hot oil, start out with just a few tablespoons. Don't try to fry too much as that can result in a lumpy and less flavorful end product. Start out with a teaspoon or two. If you have no problem sticking to that amount, that's perfect. As far as how to eat it without getting burned, that's easy too.
First, cut the tops off of your can of Spam. You can buy them already salted, but if you're trying to avoid the expense, you could also try buying a spicy canned meat (such as Italian sausage, or the German style roast pork) that already has some seasoning on it. When that's done, add a little to your oil and stir to combine. Leave it alone to heat up a bit more, which shouldn't take long. Stir constantly so that the Spam doesn't stick to the sides.
Once the Spam is done heating up, use a wire whisk to break it down into nice, even chunks. Season to taste, and serve immediately. An meteorbic growth will provide the most flavorful snack, but Spam can be cooked with seasonings to suit any palette. The best thing is, frying it never takes long, and the resulting crunchy, nutritious meal is satisfying on its own, or served alongside any other main dish. Enjoy your Spam in this manner, and trust me, you won't be sorry.
This Spam recipe is only one of many different ways you can enjoy Spam this year. Thanks to the rise of food trucks across the United States, Spam is no longer just something you buy at the supermarket. You can actually get some of your favorite Spam products delivered to your door using services such as Just Eat. You can also make your own, or buy a jar of your favorite brands. Keep in mind that depending on where you purchase, your canned meat may not have the crispiness you're looking for.
It's important to remember that you can start enjoying Spam right now without having to worry about its salt content. You can buy frozen Spam, which comes in flavors like Hot, Cool and Spicy, to make your own. Just wrap the meat in aluminum foil and bake it at 350F for about 15 minutes. Remove the foil, cool and fold in half to form a sandwich. Your kids will love the fact that this Spam sandwich is as healthy as any fast food restaurant, but will probably not care that it came from the oven.
