        • Ezuku on 26/10/2023 - 23:45

          You can eat it straight, but it's quite different to spam with a very different taste. I quite like it in a stir fry.

            @Ezuku: i am asian and i grew up eating corned beef mixed with rice as a kid. lol

            it's also the best ingredient for fried rice!!!

            i get nostalgic over it.

            fry some onions and garlic and then add the corned beef in. fry it off.

            add the rice.

            and egg.

            guaranteed one of the most delicious fried rice you can make at home without MSG and a wok!

        thanks for letting us know about this.

        I don't like spam. too salty and prefer corned beef.

        the hamper brand corned beef has never been on sale and too expensive.

        i only know they never go on sale because i check regularly.

        didn't know there was a home brand version. will check it out.

        i wonder if it's as good as the hamper brand one

            @Forfiet: The Hans Kitchen instant one is pretty decent. We try to get some when it goes half price at Woolies. You need to add stuff to it to take it to the next level though. My wife makes it so I don't know exactly what we put in there but we do add stuff like cheese kransky, spam, baked beans, american sliced cheese from Costco (depends what we have in the fridge/pantry)

            • Forfiet on 29/10/2023 - 12:47

                @jv: Well, we've had budae jjigae at quite a few different places, some supposedly famous places in Korea so we probably have a bit of experience with it. We've been pleasantly surprised with Han's Kitchen stuff but we are still keeping in mind that it is kinda instant. The end result can depend on what you add. I think we didn't add something once and it wasn't as nice, maybe baked beans and or the cheese. I just asked her and she sats we also use less water than they recommend on the packet. Also, we add the cheese after it's cooked, possibly after you've got it in your bowl while it's really hot.

      Agree, it’s mass produced using offcut otherwise waste meat.

      This stuff is no good for you at all. It’s got no fibre, nutrients and is super salty. Processed stuff which contributes to metabolic disfunction.

      • buku on 27/10/2023 - 11:58
        +1

        It is a processed product that is high in sodium and fat and low in important nutrients… BUT it is NOT made out of offcuts or waste meat.. it's made out of pork shoulder and ham. If you have proof that it is made out of scraps then please provide it, otherwise state facts, not misinformation.

          It reminds me of crabsticks, where they take perfectly good whitefish (usually Alaskan pollock) and turn it into imitation crab leg meat.

      • cski on 27/10/2023 - 18:11

        It was quite nutritious for a physically active male in WWII due to the high fat content to sustain high exercise and environmental exposure that fat in critical to supports the body.

        They say pork shoulder used to be the cut of the Pork that was not wanted the second rate, then diced and pressed to make spiced ham.
        Its not waste meat,
        When i think of waste meat i think of meat pie, the pie is full of gravy and pepper to make the bad offcuts palatable as you would definitely not otherwise eat.

        Shoulder is not the only piece that was once thought of as second rate.
        It wasnt long ago my local butcher would sell me the pork rind and pork belly for 5c a kilo only 20 years ago
        I would feed it to my dogs

        not long ago Chicken thigh was dirt cheap family scraps , the second rate to the breast, but you can barely distinguish the price now.

      Nearing $19/kg for Spam is absolutely ludicrous. It's the same price as shaved ham from the deli. They must make an absolute fortune on this stuff. Effectively infinite shelf life, no RnD or marketing since about WWII, and using ingredients that would otherwise be going in the bin. Pretty incredible.

                Worth a visit. Amazing wooden castle in a small cosmopolitan city. Interesting Wasabi farm close by.

                Was offered smoked horse meat on overnight mountain walk on island of Yakushima. Absolutely delicious!

      There's heaps but the one I've tried is the O foods luncheon meat. They sell them at the korean mart near me for around $10 for 3 cans. Taste wise they are less salty and slightly sweeter than the original.

      I googled and it seems they also sell the O foods brand at Woolworths on discount this week for $3 a can.

        O food has 1363mg of sodium per 100g while regular spam has 1040mg of sodium per 100g. So spam is actually less salty. I imagine the extra sugar in O foods makes it seem less salty

        O food has 2.0grams of sugar vs 1.8 grams for spam. So all up O foods is worse than spam.

      I think a lot of the people who don't like it either are just turned off by the mystery meat in a can factor or aren't eating it "correctly". A bit like vegemite, a little goes a long way.

      I really like SPAM but would never eat it without heating up in some way. We pretty much fry it to eat it as sushi, maybe part of fried rice or add it to instant noodles (mostly Korean). Sometimes I'm really lazy and want to eat it as part of a sandwich. Even then, I would at least lightly fry it.

    • CrispyChrispy on 26/10/2023 - 23:54

      It can be eaten right out the can but it's 100% more enjoyable and the norm to fry it in slices (or however else you want it) before eating.

  • bargainuser on 27/10/2023 - 00:04
    +2

    best way to eat this is thin slices and fry till crispy, then eggs with bread on the side. The thinner the slices the crispier it gets. This stuff is more addictive than bacon.

    2nd option is to cut into small cubes, fry, and mix it in your fried rice.

    Whatever you do, dont eat it straight from the can, unless of course you wanna be turned off it
