⏱️ 2 min - 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced Spam and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove Spam from skillet and set aside.
⏱️ 7 min - 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 5 min - 4
Add the chopped kimchi and kimchi juice to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kimchi is heated through and slightly softened. Add the corn and peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring, until heated through.
⏱️ 6 min - 5
Add the cooked rice and the cooked Spam to the skillet. Stir well to combine everything.
⏱️ 2 min - 6
Pour the prepared sauce over the rice mixture. Stir continuously to coat the rice evenly and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to become slightly crispy.
⏱️ 6 min - 7
Stir in half of the sliced scallions. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
⏱️ 1 min - 8
Divide the fried rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a fried egg (if using) and the remaining sliced scallions. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
