Luncheon meat such as Spam is good to have for breakfast. I like mine crispy so that I can enjoy it with better with either bread or fried rice. Sometimes I eat my crispy spam steak with Filipino pandesal, and there are times when I eat it with sinangag (Filipino garlic fried rice) with banana ketchup and fried egg (I call it Spamsilog). Yum yum or shall I say #nomnomnom and #happytummy.
Making your Spam steak or any kind of canned luncheon meat crispy is easy; all you need is cornstarch and some flour; you will also need some egg to act as an initial coating. This lets the cornstarch and flour stick to the Spam steak and it also improves its texture and consistency.
Crispy Spam Steak is also perfect to have with scrambles eggs. Having the Spam with eggs balances the flavor, since luncheon meat can be too salty sometimes. It will also be great to have with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
