Spam fried rice with seaweed is a must-try if you want to explore something beyond traditional savory fried rice. It has a strong seaweed aroma and a faint, sweet taste. Eggs, spam, and seaweed can be so good with fried rice.
Seaweed has a crisp texture and a light ocean aroma. It can also be a good decoration for fried rice, adding a lovely dark color. I am using Korean-style dried seaweed.
As a big fried rice lover, I am a big fan of basic Chinese-style fried rice like the egg fried rice, Beef fried rice, golden fried rice and pork belly fried rice.
What to serve with
It has a lovely crispy texture and a sweet and savory taste. I love to match it with light Chinese soup like tomato and egg drop soup or an easy salad- cucumber salad.
Another choice is to match it with a cup of bubble tea, which is my daughter’s favorite.

Hi Elaine,
Do you rehydrate the the seaweed before cooking or add it dry? I have dried Wakame here.
Thanks, Paul
i really loved the flavor of this fried rice…it was a bit too salty, tho…wondering how i can reduce the salt? I know SPAM is high in sodium….i used the light soy sauce, as well..
I used thin salted light soy sauce. If it still feels salty, you can reduce the amount of salt added, or even consider adding no salt.
