Very appetizing and moreish! I just bought a jar of sambal sauce too. Might make some with quinoa soon :-) Thanks for the inspiring recipe!

Love your spicy rendition on spam fried rice! :)
There’s 15g unsalted butter in your ingredient list. Is it used as a substitute for cooking oil?
The butter is in addition to the oil. But you can skip the butter and add a bit more oil if you don’t have butter.
