Ingredients

• 1 can (12 oz) Spam
• 1 medium head Cabbage
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ingredients: slice the Spam into thin rectangular pieces, shred the cabbage into strips, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the green onions.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the slices of Spam to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Remove the Spam from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir to combine it with the garlic and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.

Step 6

Return the Spam slices to the pan with the cabbage. Stir everything together and season the mixture with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and garnish the Spam and cabbage mixture with sliced green onions for added freshness and color.

Step 8

Serve hot as a main dish or alongside steamed rice for a complete meal. Enjoy your Hawaiian Spam and Cabbage creation!
