They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I couldn’t agree more. Having moved to Las Vegas, I discovered a delightful fusion of flavors that has become my all-time favorite breakfast: Spam, Fried Egg, Rice, and Kimchi. As a culinary adventurer, I have always been fascinated by new tastes and textures, and the combination of Spam, fried egg, rice, and kimchi delivers an explosion of flavors that has won my heart since arriving in Sin City.
Ingredients
- Leftover rice
- Soy Sauce
- Spam
- Fried Egg
- Green Onion
- Furikake Rice Seasoning
Rediscovering the Charm of Spam:
Cut your spam up into slices and toast on the stove to your liking!
While I had tasted Spam before, it wasn’t until I moved to Vegas that I truly appreciated its allure. Spam is a canned meat product made from ham and pork, and it has a distinct salty and savory flavor that adds a hearty element to any meal. When pan-fried until golden and slightly crispy, it becomes even more irresistible. Its simplicity belies its deliciousness and has become a breakfast staple for many in Las Vegas.
Fry up an Egg:
Once your spam is done, fry and egg on the same pan.
Rice: The Glue that Holds it All Together:
I usually heat up some leftover rice for the base and add a little bit of Soy Sauce.
Rice, a staple in Asian cuisine, acts as the perfect canvas for this delicious ensemble. Its neutral flavor allows the bold flavors of Spam and kimchi to shine, while its fluffy texture adds a satisfying element to the dish. The trio of Spam, kimchi, and rice creates a mouthwatering melody that transports me to a culinary paradise every morning.
The Perfect Duo: Spam and Kimchi:
Once everything is cooked its time to assemble the breakfast bowl. I layer my fried egg and spam on top of the rice. To add a burst of flavor, I add a spoonful of kimchi and green onion. Sometimes I add some Furikake Rice seasoning too. Currently I have a Kimchi Flavor.
The serendipitous combination of Spam and kimchi is a match made in culinary heaven. The saltiness of Spam complements the tanginess of kimchi, creating a beautiful harmony of flavors. This duo has become a popular ingredient in various dishes, and in my breakfast, it creates an explosion of tastes that I find hard to resist.
An Unexpected Love Affair: Moving to Vegas introduced me to the charm of combining these flavors in a breakfast bowl, and I can confidently say that it has become my favorite breakfast option. The combination of salty, tangy, spicy, and savory tastes is simply irresistible. It’s an unexpected love affair with a breakfast that captures the essence of both Korean and American flavors.
In a city known for its vibrant culture and diverse culinary scene, discovering the blissful combination of Spam, Fried Egg, Rice, and Kimchi for breakfast has been a delightful journey. This fusion of flavors showcases the magic of blending traditional Korean elements with American classics. Whether you’re a food enthusiast or just someone seeking to indulge in a unique breakfast experience, I wholeheartedly recommend trying this delightful combination. It’s a simple yet exquisite breakfast that has enriched my life since moving to Las Vegas, and I’m sure it will delight your taste buds too. So, the next time you’re in town, make sure to give this delightful breakfast bowl a try and embark on a culinary adventure like no other.
