If you love Spam, you will love this. If you think you do not like Spam, I challenge you to try this. Whenever I make this, folks rave over these. Even those that claim they cannot stand Spam. About 30 years ago I met a lady from Hawaii through some friends that were stationed at the same base as them. We used to see them at parties and get togethers. She would always bring these. She gave me the recipe at one party. They are so easy and so delicious. When I make these, they are gone in a flash. I usually double the recipe if I am making these for a party or gathering.

How To Make hawaiian spam wontons

  • Step 1
    Cube the spam into very small cubes.
  • Step 2
    Slice the green onions into thin slices.
  • Step 3
    Add a tiny bit of oil to a pan and toss in the spam and saute a few minutes. Toss in the green onions and saute a few minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add in the soy sauce. I use low sodium soy sauce. To taste. You do not want it too juicy but you want it flavorful.
  • Step 5
    Add the Accent. This is optional. A lot of folks do not use MSG and I rarely use it.
  • Step 6
    Saute together until the green onions have wilted. Set aside. (you will have to resist taking bites of this).
  • Step 7
    Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the spam mixture in the middle. Fold over once and seal the edges with your finger dipped in water.
  • Step 8
    Place wontons in a pan covered with a damp paper towel to keep them moist.
  • Step 9
    Deep fry until golden brown. Serve with Tiger Sauce or any sweet thai chili sauce.
