A Filipino housewife turned a simple can of the much-maligned ingredient spam into delicious stir-fried meat rice balls.

Irene Rose Ortega, who lives in Manila, the Philippines, showed off her cooking skills with just a few basic ingredients.

Using only spam, rice, seaweed, mayo, and some seasoning, Irene made tasty treats that everyone enjoyed.

She said: 'I wanted to make something special with what I had at home.'

Her clever recipe shows how you can make something tasty with just a few ingredients, inspiring others to get creative in the kitchen.

Spam is a type of processed canned pork and ham that gained popularity worldwide after its use during World War II.

It was mocked in a Monty Python sketch and inspired the modern-day use of the word spam to describe digital junk mail.
