Ingredients For Spam Ramen and Eggs

• Vegetable oil:You will need neutralvegetable oilto fry the garlic. Neutral oil has a high smoke point so it will prevent the garlic from burning I used vegetable oil but you can also use any other neutral oil like peanut oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, safflower oil, or corn oil.
• Instant Ramen: You can buy any instant ramen packet you like! I love buying Shin Ramyun Ramen noodles. Take the seasoning packets out the package and keep them in your cupboard for a later date!
• Garlic:the small fried garlic bits add that special flavor that makes your tastebuds come to life.
• Eggs:You can make your eggs any way you prefer! I love a soft-boiled egg, but feel free to fry them, or poach them!
• Spam:I used the entire340g/12 oz can of Spamfor this dish but you can make less or more depending on how much you can eat. If you want to take a healthier route you can use the lower sodiumoption.
• Oyster sauce:I love adding oyster sauce to stir fries, it adds a depth and sweetness to the dish!
• Sugar:Use white granulated sugar to create that beautiful caramelized glaze texture over the Spam.
• Sesame oil: This is a lovely addition to simply balance out the saltiness and sweetness.
• Chilli Flakes: I used Gochugaru (korean red pepper flakes) flakes. They're not too spicy and have a lovely smoky tone to them. If you're using regular chilli flakes, use half the amount!
• Milk: This is the ultimate hack to the creamiest ramen or stir fry recipes. I use milk all the time in my noodle dishes!
• Sesame Seeds:thesesame seedsare an optional topping.
• Green Onion:I love adding green onion slices to my ramen and eggs but this is entirely optional.
