Minced onion30g

Egg1
Starch2 tbsp
Salta pinch

Directions

1
Finely mince the onion and carrot.
2
Briefly soak the Spam in hot water to remove excess grease, then mash it.
3
Squeeze out the water from the tofu and mash it.
4
In a bowl, combine the mashed Spam and tofu, minced onion and carrot, egg, starch, and salt, and mix well.
5
Pinch off portions of the mixture and shape them into round, flat patties.

Tips

Spam is already salty, so add only a tiny bit of salt. The starch binds the mixture so the patties hold together while frying.
