Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Spam® and fry until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Heat sesame oil in the same pan until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add onion and saute until it softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add rice and frozen vegetables; mix and fry until heated through, about 5 minutes. Push the rice mixture to the sides or edges of the pan, add beaten eggs to the center, and scramble until curds form, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir half of the Spam® back into the pan and mix the eggs in with the rest of the rice mixture. Add soy sauce and Sriracha. Mix and remove from the heat.
- Crack remaining eggs into a skillet over medium heat. Cook until outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are completely set, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place fried eggs on top of the fried rice, add reserved Spam®, and garnish with nori, scallions, and sesame seeds.

A simple play on basic Rice A Roni. I make this so many different ways. With Chicken, Sausage, with vegetables or just plain. It's the base of the rice that's the kicker. Simple, Easy, Peasy. Give it a try.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Opt for high-quality Spam, macaroni, and cheese sauce to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: Slightly undercook the macaroni so it retains a slight bite and doesn't become mushy.
- Use a flavorful cheese sauce: Choose a cheese sauce that has a rich and creamy flavor. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own from scratch.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the Spam, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the Spam from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the Spam a Roni with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil for an extra touch of flavor and color.
