What recipe would you recommend to someone who doesn't like Spam? And should I do more of these quirky recipes with other ingredients? Check out the Barry Tries playlist for more where this came from: th-cam.com/play/PLfItiEY3o1msmCdkx49hQcmgh39L02lf5.html
The best Spam recipe is a Hawaiian one making a Spam fried rice & it has pineapple in it. It’s on the Spam website, though I brown the Spam (diced like pork in traditional fried rice, not big chunks) a bit more & brown the rice more as well, I up the amount of onions, replace the peas with large shreds or matchsticks of carrot & baby corn & finish it w/a bit of toasted sesame oil. Spam has always been nasty, but it used to be better (more hammier) than it is now. The trick with frying just plain Spam is thin slices.
Since texture is a sticking point I recommend crisping it up and putting it with something else like that musubi, fried rice, or soups. If you're ever back in the US, the SPAM museum is about an hour and a half from the MSP airport (Minnesota).
🙂 my dad raised us on stories of starving so much during the great depression they’d eat even things they hated & made us eat fried spam sandwiches on toast with mustard on the rare occasions he made breakfast
That spam sushi is called musubi and it is everywhere in Hawaii. A ready made quick snack, you can grab in any grocery store or shop. *It's wrapped in Saran wrap.
I have seen people put the rice into the Spam can and then put the slice of Spam back on top of it and then push it through the bottom of the can. That way the rice is exactly the same shape as the Spam.
Its always funny to me when people get weirded or skeeved out by Spam... but then those same people will eat a hot dog or bologna, lol. Spam is pretty much like canned ham and has around 6 ingredients, meat and seasonings. If its a texture thing, I kinda get it but again... hot dogs or bologna, haha. Cheers, glad you liked the masubi.
As someone who has come to enjoy the occasional tin of Spam late in life, I really enjoyed this video. Frying it in a pan until it’s brown and a little crispy makes all the difference. Thanks Barry!
To easier make the "sushi spam" (also known as spam musubi) you can take the spam tin, line it with cling film and use that to pack the rice in, lay the spam on top, then pack it down and pull it out using the cling film. Make sure to cut the spam crosswise instead of top to bottom so it has the oval shape/rounded corners. The rice takes the shape of the spam and the spam tin and makes less of a mess on your countertop. You use the spam to push down the rice in the tin and form the shape as well as have something to wrap it up in for a bento or lunch box. You can even place it in the refrigerator until you eat to help it firm up more and to keep it firm.
Budae jjigae is a really good meal with spam and could be a video in itself since it's an east meets west kinds of dish. It was made in South Korea in '50s after the Korean War when many were given American rations including things like pork & beans, ham, hot dogs, spam, American processed sliced cheese and other western related food. The dish literally translates as to "Army base stew" and used those items as well as traditional Korean ones to make a hearty spicy Korean stew. Can't recommend it enough.
When our family dog was old and getting close to..getting on, the only thing she was interested in eating was spam, so my mom always bought it and would keep little cut up bits ready for the do. I like it fried with rice and a runny egg anyway, but spam's always going to have a soft spot in my heart cos of that :)
I'm loving this random SPAM short-term obsession you've found yourself in. An underrated ingredient for sure, especially as a pantry item that lasts for years, is fully cooked and (if you're in a situation where you must) ready to eat as-is, and can be used to make actually delicious things with a little bit of know-how.
When you said 1980s was only 20 years ago I thought to myself, “yes it was….wait 😮” I grew up eating Spam and pineapple which was just sliced spam and canned pineapple with brown sugar sprinkled over it and baked in the oven until just starting to brown. Still one of my favorite comfort foods. Get a bite of spam and pineapple in each bite- yum!
I'm definitely gonna try the spam burger at some point (it's the only one I haven't tried). I'm sure other folks have said this, but the low sodium Spam is somehow even better because it gives you a lot more wiggle room with your seasoning.
You know Barry, my sister made spam musubi a few times before but she candied the spam with like a teriyaki glaze so the spam was sweet and semi crunchy, and it's soo good.
Fun fact: Although debated as to where Spam Sushi was created, Musubi (what we call Spam Sushi) both are an American dish created after WW2. Musubi specifically, which Barry made a version of, was created in Hawaii during WW2 as another way to use all that Spam. I like Spam lightly fried in butter and that's the only way I've ever had it. I don't know how I'd like Spam Musubi.
I make a Southern (US) fried rice with breakfast sausage, chicken, and Spam. People go on and on about how delicious it is. Let me know if you want the recipe. 😊
favorite camping meal...dice up a can of spam and one large can (or one large and one regular size can) of the brown sugar baked beans and add to a saucepan. we usually use B&M beans. heat thoroughly and enjoy. great on a rainy camping day. really stick to your ribs comfort food.
Barry, my dear, I'm probably close to your age, and I know the feeling at disbelief about the passage of time and remembering the 80s... but I hate to break it to you... The 80s were over 40 years ago, not 20! LOL
If you poke a hole in the bottom of the can once you've opened it, it will come out much easier! Same with canned cranberry jelly, or really any other tricky canned product!
One of our local chippy’s does spam fritters, I know some supermarkets sold them too, but not sure if they still do, always have a tin of it in my cupboard. I follow a few ladies that live in Japan and they seem to use it a lot, mad for it ! Seems Boston is a fan too ! Great vlog as always
In the Netherlands we have the dutch version of Spam called Smac. Looks more tasty then Spam. I use it cut in little blocks with cooked macaroni and cheese. Also baked in thin sliced parts and then on a sandwich. 😋
When you open a can of spam, either remove both ends, or at least pierce a hole in the end you don't remove. When you're removing the spam from then can, this lets air in behind the product (I hesitate to call it 'meat'), and you don't form a vacuum behind it keeping it in the can.
Just a tip for cleaning rice. I find rice grains are smsll enough to go through colanders so instead, i have these sieves made from a type of cheese cloth like material. I place this under the water and add a bowl below to gauge when the water starts to clear up. I then run it under the water emptying bowl at time to be sure i csn see change from murky to clean and then i tip my cheesecloth sieve upside down to get it all out.
If taste is a thing, I've candied both bacon and Spam in a pepper paste before and it's phenomenal. I did gochujang and honey, and Cayenne and brown sugar combinations
I think the school dinner ladies when I was a kid, had these recipes. Literally if they could make something with spam, they would. I probably even had a spam dessert at one point, the first recipe reminded me of Spam Fritters, something they had weekly.
On the panko fried spam you could serve that with stir fried noodles with the sticks rolled in a oriental sauce teriyaki, sweet chili, or buldak for a ultra spicy kick are some good examples. You could also just serve it with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
I normally just watch your gadget videos, but this one was pretty interesting. It made me realise that I don't think I've ever had Spam before, but I've somehow been around it a lot. Actually want to get a tin of it now and try one of these little recipes.
Morning Bazza, If you puncture the base it can help to break the suction / vacuum (same for tinned corned beef). Also, just open both ends and push through. You can purchase (cheaper versions of Spam, called Bacon Grill).
I'm from Minnesota where Spam is made. I don't know anyone who eats it here but apparently Hawaii has an obsession with it and they have a ton of recipes using it. If you are looking for work recipes, Hawaii is probably where to look.
I fell in love with Musubi while I worked in Honolulu. I ate some everyday and even brought some home with me when i left. I finally found a place in Az that made them so i was delighted until i learned how to make them myself
What a coincidence. I just came home from an Aldi shop and bought a few tins of their Bramwells Chopped Pork & Ham. Time to try out some of those dishes 😁 Having watched, the 'fries' are probably the ones I'll try. I usually to special fried rice with an egg thrown in and 1cm cubed fried spam.
Fried Spam is the best when it's fried and on top of ramen or in masubi. It's also great for taking camping for a bacon substitute. No need for refrigeration until it's open
I can’t eat spam as much anymore as I used to (curse you, genetically acquired hypertension!) but I love dicing it up, frying it with some veg and having it with rice ~ very delicious
Spam reminds me of my chilhood when american goods were just becoming more common in groceries. I like to slice it really thin & then fry on a pan or using an air fryer without oil until crispy. Then serve in a sandwich, on noodles or with garlic rice with a sunny side up fried egg.
Good evening Mr Barry Lewis I just saw a post on Facebook for clear tomato ketchup and wonder if this could possibly be on ur list for the clear playlist if you are still trying clear foods
Fried spam sandwiches are a southern staple! At least for us country folk lol The greatest fried sandwich... fried spam, fried egg, cheese, and mayonnaise all in between two pieces of buttered pan toasted bread... the clogged arteries are worth it! ❤😂
I think something a lot of people seem to not understand is spawn isn't like old school hot dogs or American Bologna where you never know what might be in there, its 6 ingredients, the main being pork shoulder and ham meat. Its meant to be cooked and once cooled you can make it taste so good with just a few extra bits and bobs. It also isn't seasoned, except with to much salt, cooking it can cook out some of the salt, and add some other spices because there is none in there.
Hey Barry, I used to work in an factory in the North of England that made a UK Spam equivalent. Take a look at the said Spam, amongst the pink block of death you will see darker redish/brown dots around, those dots are the meat, the rest is ................ sorry I can't even type it. Long time fan, cheers from Melbourne Oz.
I remember my grandma and teacher taking spam sandwiches on primary school war themed history trip in the 1990s. I only use small cubes to use in egg fried rice (hen ive not got ham) but the latter gets used for fishing bait lol😅
Brown sugar, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar make a great Teriyaki flavor. You can cut spam into fingers, brown it, and toss it in the sauce. Make wraps with tomato, red onion, and lettuce. You can dice spam, brown it, toss is in the sauce. Make white rice, steamed vegetables, and pour the diced spam and sauce on top.
In the USA, the government gave/gives Spam to tribes on reservations. We weren’t allowed to hunt for fresh meat so they “provided” canned processed foods. Now it’s a staple in our households
Dear Mr. Lewis, The correct way to get the SPAM outta the can is: Remove the lid, squeeze the two short ends of the can towards the middle until the can "cracks" (basically it deforms a little and stays like that), turn the can over and give it a quick shake and VOILA! SPAM without a can! Love your videos...good luck... Mark
Barry you should try bacon grill, it's essentially bacon flavoured spam, it's sold by brands like royal dane and princes and most supermarkets have an own brand version. The shape makes it perfect for breakfast rolls.
To get SPAM and similars out of the tin easier, you gotta open the tin from both ends, that way you can push it out from the bottom and it comes out as a block without risk of it breaking apart.
I didn't think we'd get a video focused on Spam recipes after the American foods video where Barry ate some Jalapeño Spam, but I welcome it nonetheless!
For the sushi I would have fried the spam to get the crispy ends, then put the rice on top of that with the sauce you made, and then wrap it. So you get to keep the nice crispy texture of the spam but still get the sauce in the rice.
SPAM UP if you could eat a horse !! I bet you remember this song lol, Also on a side note spam makes cracking fishing bait for catfish along with peperami 😂😂
@1:48 It's 2023, so the 80's were basically 40-35(!) years ago not 20...I know it's absolutely terrifying for a lot of us, myself included, but alas it's true. Now I'm going to be depressed for the rest of the day (maybe week) thinking about how old I'm getting and just how much of my life, especially what is generally consider by most to be the best, is basically already over...LOL, I got even more depressed and died a bit more inside just writing that last sentence... Never would've guessed in a million years I would ever end up feeling like this after watching one of Barry's videos, as they're usually so pleasant and so chock-full of positive energy that I simply can't help but feel happy and leave with a big smile on my face! (Though it was through no fault on Barry, just me getting triggered by the time thing) Now if you'll excuse me, but I have to go and daydream about all the wonderful things on my bucket list that I will probably never get around to doing!
What recipe would you recommend to someone who doesn't like Spam? And should I do more of these quirky recipes with other ingredients?
Check out the Barry Tries playlist for more where this came from: th-cam.com/play/PLfItiEY3o1msmCdkx49hQcmgh39L02lf5.html
I would reccomend them to chope it up, fry it until it's crispy and mix it with rice and cooked vegetables with plenty of spices! Pretty good! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

This morning Barry made me realize time travel is possible 1980 was only 20 years ago I'm much younger than I thought I was today. LOL
😂 And now I'm just 20 years old again. Now where did I park the Delorean?
Well according to Barry I shouldn't exist 😂😂😂
🙂 my dad raised us on stories of starving so much during the great depression they’d eat even things they hated & made us eat fried spam sandwiches on toast with mustard on the rare occasions he made breakfast

Exactly the same I thought when he said it! 🤣🤣🤣

Practically the Hawai'ian state dish.
If I were on death row, spam musubi would be part of my last meal, but gotta have the nori all the way to the edges. 😋
It's also one of the greatest things on the planet - and I'm not even a huge fan of spam.
I have seen people put the rice into the Spam can and then put the slice of Spam back on top of it and then push it through the bottom of the can. That way the rice is exactly the same shape as the Spam.
@@lynettehouck8346 it's a great hack when you don't have an actual specific musubi press, I've use it recently!

If you have air fryer, it’s great done in there until crispy. No oil really needed, and it’s hands-off.

Reminds me of my mom's mac & spam. Simple macaroni, with veggies, spam cut in cubes and fried, and tomato puree. Simple yet delicious.
I loooove that someone else think 1980 was 20 years ago when it’s off the top of their head. 😂. You and me both Barry! Love your channel

Fry that spam into Bacon like bits! Mix in rice and enjoy

I’m sure what you have is just chopped pork and ham, which is what SPAM is because SPAM is just a trade name not a product
Do you have ZWAN; that's the most popular product of this category in Greece (I think it's locally produced)
2:16 _"Years ago, it did come in handy as food"_ hahaha!
Definitely gonna try the burguer! Thanks for all this inspiration barry! You're awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Spam, food of the gods! I have used spam in a fried rice. I put chopped apple, spring onions, frozen peas Chinese and egg in. Incredible.
YES MIKE!
That was meant to be Chinese 5 spice, doh! Lol.

For the Spam Musubi (spam with rice and seaweed) take plastic wrap, and line the inside of the Spam can, and use that as a mold for your rice.
Being a prepper, I have a mountain of these types of canned meats, so great to know new ways to cook them up.👍
"years ago it did come in handy as food"
That's good as those spam brick houses never lasted
When I was a kid my dad used to make spam fritters, they were the bomb!
My absolute favourite sandwich sandwich is thick white crusty bread spam and piccalili, it's phenomenal.
LOVE spam barry! Thanks for this! LOVE your content 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I told you that rice makes it good. I recommend cutting the spam thinner tho for the texture.
yes, yes you did!
"Brown the outside, brown the outside, brown the outside..." 😂😂😂
Half cut got me 😂😂😂😂
Awesome Video Barry Lewis
I loved Spam fritters at school that was the best dinner in the 1980s! I loved them with chips and ketchup
Love Spam and it can be made in different ways and recipes. This going further back than the 80s. Good video Barry.
Light soy sauce = flavour
Dark soy sauce = colour
Thanks

Barry Spam Spamming Spam Videos
Musubi is made by marinated spam in teriyaki sauce and fried. There's actually a mold you can get to make it with.
Gotta try Spamdy bars
when barry gets to a million subs he should do a special food vid
I didn't think we'd get a video focused on Spam recipes after the American foods video where Barry ate some Jalapeño Spam, but I welcome it nonetheless!
Couple of thick slices of hot fried spam on a buttery cob with a bit of red sauce: breakfast of champions honestly
For the sushi I would have fried the spam to get the crispy ends, then put the rice on top of that with the sauce you made, and then wrap it. So you get to keep the nice crispy texture of the spam but still get the sauce in the rice.
I remember spam.burgers at school camping trip. Think we all threw them in the bushes. 😅 x
SPAM UP if you could eat a horse !! I bet you remember this song lol, Also on a side note spam makes cracking fishing bait for catfish along with peperami 😂😂
Getting a musubi mold is a life changer.
when I had a plenty of alcoholic beverages the night before, I like a battered spam and chips from the local Chippy for my tea. Heaven
As a general rule, light soy sauce is more salty and used as a seasoning while cooking and dark soy is less salty and used in marinades and dips.
I cook mine on my propane grill and add a little bbq sauce while its cooking
Use the tin from the spam to make the "sushi" it comes out perfect
Man those are some funky looking musubi 😂
@1:48 It's 2023, so the 80's were basically 40-35(!) years ago not 20...I know it's absolutely terrifying for a lot of us, myself included, but alas it's true.
Now I'm going to be depressed for the rest of the day (maybe week) thinking about how old I'm getting and just how much of my life, especially what is generally consider by most to be the best, is basically already over...LOL, I got even more depressed and died a bit more inside just writing that last sentence...
Never would've guessed in a million years I would ever end up feeling like this after watching one of Barry's videos, as they're usually so pleasant and so chock-full of positive energy that I simply can't help but feel happy and leave with a big smile on my face! (Though it was through no fault on Barry, just me getting triggered by the time thing)
Now if you'll excuse me, but I have to go and daydream about all the wonderful things on my bucket list that I will probably never get around to doing!
5:26 The British must have enormous credit cards.
How dare you, for actually getting me hungry for spam.
