User Comments:
- "This dish was a great way to try new flavors. The combination of tofu, Spam, and pork belly was surprisingly delicious."
- "The vegetables added a nice crunch and freshness to the dish."
- "I made this for my American guests and they loved it. It's a great way to introduce Japanese cuisine without it being too spicy or exotic."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have firm tofu, you can press regular tofu by wrapping it in a few layers of paper towels and placing it between two heavy objects for 30 minutes.
- To make the dish vegetarian, omit the Spam and pork belly. You can substitute tofu or tempeh instead.
- If you don't have ketchup, you can use tomato paste diluted with a little water.
- If you're using a nonstick skillet, be careful not to overheat it or the Spam and pork belly may stick.
