in 1937 Jay horal son of George Hormel
0:23
of Hormel Foods invented spam this was
0:26
done to use up excess pork in order to
0:28
create an affordable meat product
0:30
product during the Depression it
0:32
apparently was a success because soon
0:34
during World War II over 100 million
0:37
cans of the product was shipped to
0:39
troops around the world today spam is
0:42
available in over 40 countries around
0:44
the world with over 8 billion cans being
0:47
sold globally it also has over a dozen
0:50

1:03
there are many different opinions about
1:04
spam but did you know that spam only has
1:07
six ingredients in it spam is made up of
1:10
pork with ham meat which counts as one
1:12
salt water potato starch sugar and
1:16
sodium nitrate while many of these
1:17
ingredients they're pretty simple sodium
1:19
nitrate does stand out but really at the
1:22
end of the day this is just to keep spam
1:24
fresh yes it keeps it fresh to make Spam
1:28
all of the ingredients are mixed
1:29
together together for about 20 minutes
1:31
and then brought to proper temperature
1:33
the mixture is then put in cans and
1:35
vacuum sealed and after this the cans
1:37
with the spam in them are cooked and
1:40
then cooled for about 3 hours once this
1:42
is done they are ready for their labels
1:45
and then begin the process of
1:46
distribution arriving in stores and then
1:49
eventually in your
1:50
[Music]
1:57
kitchen there are many different things
1:58
that you can do with Spam a lot of them
2:00
can be found at spam.com but there's
2:02
other websites too spam can be used for
2:04
breakfast for lunch for dinner in
2:06
recipes for dishes like MBI sliders
2:09
tacos kiche soups even cookies we aren't
2:12
going to do any of those today though
2:13
today we're going to make goou Jang
2:15
flavored spam with rice this is simple
2:19
it's quick and it's a great introduction
2:21
to spam today we're going to make goto
2:23
Jen flavored spam with rice and this is
2:27
a simple recipe it's only about 20
2:28
minutes very quick
2:30
and it's a great way to be introduced to
2:39
spam whenever you're cooking anything
2:41
the first thing you want to do is pull
2:42
all of your ingredients together and all
2:44
of your tools together this means you
2:46
won't have to be running around and
2:47
scrambling during the cooking process
2:50
and you don't have to risk things well
2:51
getting burnt not so good in this case
2:54
you're going to need one can of spam one
2:56
tablespoon Goji Jing paste one
2:58
tablespoon sugar or honey I'm going to
3:01
use honey one tblspoon soy sauce four
3:03
cups cooked rice and 1/4 cup of chopped
3:06
green onions and a little olive oil or
3:09
sesame oil you will also need a vessel
3:12
to cook the spam in and that could be a
3:14
skillet that could be a walk whatever
3:16
works you're going to need a
3:18
spatula and a rice cooker if you don't
3:22
have a rice cooker that's okay you can
3:23
make it on the stove or the microwave
3:26
the first thing you need to do put the
3:27
rice in the rice cooker sure to rinse it
3:30
ahead of time and measure carefully once
3:32
that is done it's time to focus on the
3:34
spam which is the fun part put the pan
3:37
on medium or medium high and then slice
3:40
the spam then put the pieces in the pan
3:43
and as soon as you do this start
3:45
chopping up the green onions if you
3:46
haven't done that already once the spam
3:49
is browned on one side flip it until
3:51
it's browned on the other then while
3:54
you're cooking the spam mix the goou
3:56
Jang the soy sauce and the sugar
3:57
together once both sides of the spam or
4:00
browned then you're going to put your
4:01
goou Jang sauce with all that other
4:03
stuff on the spam cook it on low for a
4:06
few minutes basically to let the spam
4:08
absorb all those
4:09
[Music]
4:15
flavors once everything's cooked it's
4:17
time to Plate this is one of my favorite
4:19
Parts remember we eat with our eyes so
4:21
this is very important take a little
4:23
extra time to make it look great first
4:27
off put your rice in a bowl then
4:29
carefully arrange the spam on top of it
4:30
and garnish with the chopped onions if
4:33
you want to go the extra mile add some
4:35
fur or a little soy sauce drizzled
4:37
on top these aren't necessary but they
4:39
do add a little extra flavor and visual
4:41
appeal if you feel like going the extra
4:43
mile if you really wanted to go all out
4:46
I'd put a Sunnyside egg up on top of it
4:47
all and if I'm in a rush I don't bother
4:50
with any of this but if I'm feeling
4:51
creative then I definitely add these and
4:54
perhaps some other things
4:58
[Music]
5:02
once the dish is finished take some time
5:04
to enjoy it as you're eating your way
5:06
through this dish and enjoying your spam
5:08
perhaps for the first time think back
5:11
about where it came from and how it has
5:14
contributed to the world as it's faced
5:16
some really challenging times then it's
5:20
time to
5:21
consider you've got it it's time to
5:24
consider making spam butterscotch
