Spam Musubi

Ingredients

  • Cooked white rice
  • 1 can spam (any type or your favorite flavor)
  • Nori roasted seaweed, ideally the “sheet” type like the Sushihane brand)
  • Furikake seasoning
  • Shoyu
  • Brown sugar
  • Optional: musubi mold (OR don’t toss the spam can – it can be used as a mold)

Instructions

  1. Prep spam and sauce: cut spam to 1/4” or desired thickness, set aside. Mix 1 cup shoyu and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Toss cut spam in bowl to marinate. Set aside.
  2. Cut nori into 2” strips. Set aside.
  3. Heat up pan to low-medium heat. Fry marinated spam to desired crispiness. Keep an eye on the heat, too much heat will burn the spam.
  4. Assemble musubis: fill spam can 1/4 full with cooked rice, sprinkle furikake seasoning on top of rice, add crispy spam. Once musubi is to desired shape, wrap 1 nori around musubi.

Serving Suggestions

  • Recommend preparing 2-3 cups of rice per 1 can spam, depending on desired rice to protein ratio :)
  • Adjust shoyu and brown sugar ratio to taste!

Enjoy :)
