Yes, you can easily make this recipe vegetarian by omitting the Spam. For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein alternative like tempeh or tofu.
Can I add other vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different vegetables to add more color and flavor. Bell peppers, broccoli, and mushrooms are all great options.
What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the dish over medium heat until heated through.
