(from the book "I Dare You to Eat It" by Liesa Card)

Fresh Ingredients
4-6 green onions, thinly sliced or chopped
Any combination of leftover vegetables: celery, carrots, peppers, peas, and corn
2 scrambled eggs (optional)

Storage Ingredients
1 can Spam, or leftover meat
3 c. cooked cold wheat berries
3 c. cooked cold rice
1-2 T. soy sauce
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. oil
1/2 t. sugar

Dice Spam and saute until browned and crispy. Set aside. If vegetables have not been cooked you may want to saute them in the oil until tender. Then combine all ingredients in pan and heat thoroughly before serving. The ratio of wheat and rice can be adjusted to fit whatever is left in your refrigerator. A splash of teriyaki sauce is nice.

Additional note from the author, Liesa Card.
"Stay with me - Spam is better than you would think when it's sauteed. And this recipe is a great way to use up all the leftover grains and veggies in the fridge. The simple recipe makes a ton, so be aware of that when you choose your pan. I'm not kidding. Invariably somehow this creates more leftovers, but they microwave well and actually get eaten. It can be seasoned with teriyaki or soy sauce, and you can use any leftover meats depending on your family's preference. I usually try to prepare this recipe in the early morning when I can sneak the time to get everything chopped and sauteed. Then it's ready, waiting for lunches or dinners, as the day and the kids get busier."
