Spam Noodles, made with Instant Noodles and Fried Spam sliced into strips. Add some Green Onions & Leeks for extra Flavor.
Noodles
Use Instant noodles like Mr. Noodles or Ichiban Noodle, any flavor you want. I typically go with Vegetable Flavor. Ichiban is the better brand, but priced at about 3 times as much as the Mr. noodles.
Lo Mein
Cook noodles to package instructions in boiling water, about 3 minutes. Remove most of the water, leaving behind about 1/4 C – 1/3 C. Then add the seasoning and toss the noodles. Drain out the remaining liquid for Lo Mein style noodles. Add Fried Spam and toss with the noodles.
Ramen
For Ramen Style, make the noodles according to the package instructions. Add the Fried Spam and some Green Onions and/or Leek. For a stronger broth, use less water.
Spam
Fry up a couple of thinly sliced Spam or Luncheon Meat in some fat over medium heat until done to your liking. Slice them into thin strips to include with the noodles.

Spam Noodles with added Vegetables
Add in some Green Onions or Leeks. Both of these are a very nice touch to add in some extra flavor. Add sliced Leeks to the water and bring to a boil to cook with the noodles. Green Onions can be added at any time, or even added last.
Add shredded Carrots or thinly sliced Napa Cabbage or Bok Choy to the water to bring to a boil. Then add the Noodles to boil until done.
Spam Noodles with Eggs
Add a Sunny Side Up Egg, Poached Egg, Fried Egg, or Boiled Egg along with the Spam or Luncheon Meat.
For Boiled Eggs, bring the pot of water to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and lower the egg in. Boil for about 12 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. Remove the egg and place into a bowl of cold water and leave for about 1 – 2 minutes. Add your noodles to the boiling water to cook.
Spicy Spam Noodles
Add some Franks RedHot Sauce mixed with Butter to toss the noodles in and get some heat. Just a tiny bit of butter and about 3 shakes of the RedHot Sauce or more for spicier.
A bit of Sriracha can be added instead of the Butter & RedHot Sauce.
