   Step 3: Heat all 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced Spam from step 2 and brown for about 2 minutes on each side, turning to expose the other sides and using golden edges as the endpoint. Transfer the browned pieces to a plate, keeping the same pan for the glaze. The two-minute reminder applies to one side, not the whole browning stage.
