Spam Fried Rice

Spam.....yup, we eat a lot of it on Guam, or wherever a native lands. The McDonalds all across the island even serve breakfast platters of spam, rice and scrambled eggs!

Chamorro fried rice is a meal in itself. It is full of meat and vegetables. I LOVE chorizos Espanot best in fried rice followed by barbecued steak in Chamorro marinade.

Last week I made fried rice using half long grain white rice and half brown rice. Today, I made it all with brown rice. I prefer the half and half mix.

Fried rice can be nutritious if you use extra-virgin olive oil, bbqed lean meat, some brown rice and lots of celery, carrots, onions and garlic. Of course, eat no more than 2 cups for men and 1 cup for women.

There is a fried rice recipe in A TASTE OF GUAM.
