1
Prepare the Spam
Open the can of Spam using a can opener. Carefully remove the Spam from the can and place it on a cutting board.
2
Slice the Spam
Using a sharp knife, cut the Spam into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. You can adjust the thickness based on your preference.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Season the Spam
While the oil is heating, sprinkle black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over both sides of the Spam slices.
5
Fry the Spam
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the Spam slices in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
6
Flip and Continue Cooking
Using tongs, flip each slice of Spam and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is crispy and golden.
7
Serve
Once cooked, remove the Spam from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot, optionally with hot sauce on the side.
