I don't ever stop to write down exact measurements, but this can be prepared "to taste". Ingredient suggestions: SPAM (the lower fat version) - pre-prep the Spam beforehand as follows: ONIONS - Saute some chopped onions in olive oil 'til their sweet & almost brown. GREEN PEPPER - Add some minced green pepper & saute some more. GARLIC - Add some minced garlic. Then add the cubed SPAM & continue to saute 'til the Spam starts to brown a little. SAUCE - pre-prep the sauce beforehand: Any sweet & sour sauce you like will do. This is my version: FRENCH DRESSING PINEAPPLE JUICE CONCENTRATE LIME JUICE - a splash or two HONEY or SUGAR SPICY MUSTARD SALT to taste GINGER PATAK'S ORIGINAL CHILI RELISH HOT This is mostly chilies & ginger - hard to find but well worth the search. Usually sold in Indian Groceries. Website is http://www.pataks.co.uk RAMEN NOODLES (just use the noodles & throw away the nasty flavor packets which, as near as I can tell, are pure msg) SLICED CARROTS (from a can will do if you're looking for convenience). PINEAPPLE CHUNKS - drained (also from a can). Keep the pre-prepped Spam & sauce refrigerated or frozen until the event. Take it to the event in a cooler with ice blocks. When I'm camping I heat the sauce, Spam, carrots, & pineapple chunks in a pan over a camp stove. A microwave would be even easier. I cook the noodles on site but this could be done ahead of time too. I always get raised eyebrows when I tell folks Sweet & Sour Spam is on the menu, but everyone who's tried it so far has liked it. [ Edited by: kctiki 2007-05-27 06:06 ]
