Now here is how I do it !


1 12 oz. can of Treet, diced (it’s cheaper than Spam)
2 cups cooked rice (day old rice works best)
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup frozen peas (I just throw in however many looks about right)
¼ cup or 1 sm onion, diced
1 Tbs cooking oil (peanut oil works best)
1 to 2 Tbs Soy Sauce (your taste)
Pinch of Black Pepper (I don’t use salt)

In a large non-stick skillet (I guess you could use a wok if you had one) heat up cooking oil and add Treet and onion, browning lightly. Remove from skillet. In same skillet add eggs, cooking lightly, then add rice and peas, continue cooking stirring constantly. Add Treet and onions back to skillet. Add Soy Sauce (I use a lot) and Pepper to your taste. Serves maybe 2 if you're lucky.
