What you got, Spam and Rice/ Quinoa?

I don't cook much but, I do have one recipe I really like.  It can be altered by the fresh ingredients I have on hand and it doesn't take much work.  It's Spam and rice, sort of.  That may sound odd, Spam and all, but I had decided to try it for the first time this year and I love it.
Here are the steps it takes to make it.

Ingredients and materials:

1 can Spam
two cups of Veggie of your choosing, I'm using Spinach and Broccoli.
2 cups of Rice (I used a cup of Quinoa and a cup of brown rice)
2 eggs
Katsu Sauce (you can use any sauce you want but I prefer this Hawaiian sauce
Saute' pan
Spatula
Rice maker if you have one

Step 1

Chop up the Spam into small bite sized cubes.  Try to make them as uniform as possible.  Brown them in a skillet, no oil needed on Med-high heat.
I use low sodium Spam, but I don't think it makes all that much of a difference to be honest.

Step 2

Cook up the rice.  I used one cup of quinoa and one cup of brown rice in a rice cooker.  They cook up at the same speed and I a able to cook them together.

Step 3

I cut up the broccoli into small pieces and cut the spinach into halves.  I have about two cups of each raw but you can put whatever you want into these two cups. Pineapple, Brussels sprouts, carrots, kale or any other kind of veggie can replace or be added to my choice in veggie.

Step 4

After the Spam has browned put in the two eggs.

Cook the eggs slightly,

add the veggie,

add the rice,

Step 5

Mix in some Katsu sauce o taste and cook on warm until the veggie is tender.  If your veggie is hard like carrots or broccoli than you may want to steam them until they are soft enough. This way you don't over cook the rest.  Once it's mixed you will be done.  I put a bit of Sriracha sauce on the top of the Spam and rice to give a little spice.
