I tweaked this recipe quite a bit, but loved it! I cut out the spam and meat entirely, (as I was preparing it to be served with sweet pineapple chicken meatballs), I only used two eggs, and I took some one else's suggestion, and rather than oyster sauce, used half and half, pineapple juice and teryiaki sauce. I sauteed in diced red pepper while I cooked the eggs, and about a minute before I took the eggs out of the pan, tossed i the pineapple and green onion, so that they weren't added in completely raw. The base of this recipe is awesome!! I will most def be making it again!

Really loved this recipe! I added diced red peppers & baby peas because my husband & I like a lot of vegetables. Also, used brown rice & a thick slice of deli ham instead of SPAM (don't really care for SPAM). This recipe is definitely a keeper. Next time I'm going to try it with cruched pineapple instead of chunks. The chunks are a little too big with all the other ingredients being diced. I agree with one of the other reviews, I'm not quite sure why more people haven't tried this. It's great!

This meal was a big hit. I did not tell my husband that I made a variation on our regular pork/chicken fried rice. He started eating, stopped and said, "Is there pineapple in here?" and when I told him it was an island variation he said, "This is delicious." Now, I did eyeball the ingredients and ended up adding way more pineapple than stated- loved it that way. Also, I used regular cubed ham since we are not a fan of the Spam variety. As for the rice, I always make it an hour or two before dinner and stick it in the freezer so it is nice and cold when I need it. That way, it doesn't get mushy. Hope this helps. Thank you for the recipe, chen! It will most definitely be made again.

I used Spam Lite, and left out the sausage. I sauteed two teaspoons of minced garlic in the oil before adding the Spam. I also sauteed the thicker pieces of green onion, and added the lighter green top pieces at the end. The pineapple juice & teriyaki sauce substitution that others suggested was great (my husband is not a fish fan). Pearl rice tastes great in this! I'm not much of a cook, but this was easy and turned out great.

Just took my first bite and heck yeah! I didnt have any oyster sauce so I used hoisin instead. It made perfect sence anyway since its like an asian bbq sauce and pork (Spam) and bbq sauce go hand to hand anyways. I finally found something new to bring to the table thankyou!

This is so yummy! I made it for my husband's Luau party. I skipped the oyster sauce and added soy sauce instead. It was the hit of the party!

So good! I used real ham cut into chunks as I don't like Spam. Great accompaniment to my beef stir fry.

This was so good and super easy. I did not have spam or the other meat on the list. I did have some left over sausage. I cut it up into small pieces and it worked great in a pinch.I served with Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs from this site and black beans. Yummy will be using this again.

My family loves this recipe. If I plan on making it I make A LOT and it still gets eaten up in a day or two. I use crushed pineapple bc I don't really like to bite into chunks of pineapple. I also like fry some garlic, ginger, and whole star anise with the luncheon meat and sausage.
