  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir luncheon meat and sausage in hot oil until browned. Remove meat mixture to a plate. Pour beaten eggs into the same skillet; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled. Transfer eggs to the plate with meat mixture.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir cooled rice in hot oil until heated through and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.

Cook and stir until well combined and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in green onion to serve.
