Spam and Eggs Rice Bowl

Ingredients and Directions

• 1 cup steamed white rice
• 2-3 slices of Spam
• 2 eggs
• sprinkle of furikake
• 1 tsp chili crisp
• green onions

Steam your rice, or even better, rewarm last night’s leftover rice. Dice Spam into tiny cubes and fry until crispy on the outside. Cook two eggs sunny side up, until the white are sturdy, but the yolks are still runny. Spoon warmed rice into a bowl. Top with Spam and eggs. Sprinkle with furikake, drizzle with chili crisp, and top with fresh green onions.
