Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, water, brown sugar, vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth. (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. The color will deepen slightly.

04

Step
2 mins

Add the pineapple chunks, chopped green bell peppers, and diced SPAM to the sauce. (2 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the Spam and vegetables are heated through and the flavors have melded, stirring occasionally.

For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar.
A splash of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce can add an extra layer of umami.
Serve hot over rice, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
