Ingredients

  • 12 ounce can Spam
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 sheets roasted seaweed sushi nori, cut in half
  • 3 cups medium grain sticky rice or sushi rice cooked according to package
  • 1.7 ounce furikake rice seasoning*

Instructions

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
  • Slice the Spam into 8 even slices.
  • Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
  • Coat the spam in the marinade. Pour it over the spam or soak the spam pieces in the bowl with the sauce.
  • Place the Spam slices into the hot skillet in an even layer and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until it reaches the desired crispiness.
  • To assemble: Take one strip of nori and place it on a cutting board or parchment paper.
  • Place the musubi mold in the center and fill it with rice. I use approximately 3 spoonfuls.
  • Sprinkle on the furikake rice seasoning.
  • Top with a slice of cooked Spam.
  • Put the top of the musubi mold on, press down firmly to help the rice stick together.
  • Remove the mold then wrap the nori around the rice and Spam. You can dab the edges with a little water to help it stick together if needed. Repeat with the remaining Spam.
  • Serve as is or with a side of sriracha, teriyaki sauce, or dip.

Notes

*Find rice seasoning in the Asian section of your grocery store.
