Boil a medium pot of water. Drop the noodles in the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse well. Set aside.

In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil. Fry the Spam to release some of the fat, about 1 minute.
Add the onions and carrots and stir fry for 1-2 minutes to soften (you still want a little crispness to the carrots).
Add the cabbage and stir fry until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 30 seconds.
Add the kamaboko fishcake and char siu. Stir fry to heat through, about 1 minute.
