Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can Luncheon Meat (Spam) – cut into ½-inch wide fries
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for frying)
Optional Coating and Seasonings
- ¼ cup Rice Flour (optional, for extra crispy coating)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Luncheon Meat: Start by cutting the luncheon meat into ½-inch wide fries, ensuring even sizing for uniform cooking.
- Optional Coating: If you want extra crunch, dredge the fries in rice flour or corn flour to coat evenly.
- Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 365°F (185°C) and begins to shimmer, indicating it’s hot enough for frying.
- Fry the Spam Fries: Gently add the fries into the hot oil. Fry them for approximately 4-6 minutes, turning them three times to ensure all sides become golden and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Carefully remove the fries from the pan and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will absorb any excess oil, keeping the fries crispy.
- Serve: Serve your delicious crispy Spam fries hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauces for a delightful snack experience.
Notes
- Use rice flour or corn flour for a gluten-free option to get an extra crispy coating.
- Adjust chili powder quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately after frying to retain crispiness.
- Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for perfect frying.
- Leftover fries can be reheated in an air fryer to regain crispiness.
