Ingredients

  • 5 cups cooked sushi rice, room temperature
  • 5 sheets nori, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 (12 oz.) can Spam
  • 6 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp mirin
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • Furikake, to taste

Directions

Cut Spam into 10 slices. Fry until slightly crispy. Remove and drain on plate lined with paper towels. In another pan, combine soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low. Add Spam slices, coating them in the mixture. When mixture has thickened, remove Spam from pan.

Lay a sheet of nori lengthwise on a clean surface. Moisten lower half of musubi maker (see Note), and place on lower third of nori. Fill musubi maker with rice and press flat until the rice is 3/4-inch high. Sprinkle rice with furikake. Top with slice of Spam. Remove musubi maker and keep in a bowl of warm water to keep it clean and moist.

Starting at the end towards you, fold nori over Spam and rice stack, and keep rolling until completely wrapped in the nori. Slightly dampen the end of the nori to seal it. Repeat with the other nine Spam slices, making sure to rinse off musubi maker after each use to prevent it from getting too sticky.

Note: You can also use an empty Spam can that has been opened on both sides for the musubi mold, using your hands (or a piece of Spam) to press down on the rice

    I am currently in New Orleans and get Aloha Shoyu (soy sauce sent to me because all the brands in the mainland are too salty. Another thing I like to do is adding some fried egg in there and makes a perfect breakfast spam musubi. Or you can do variation with hot dogs too! Endless possibilities. If you're on the go just wad up your rice on top of the nori throw in left over meat and you've got yourself a tasty musubi ball!

    I made this as a joke for my son who loves SPAM. Suprisingly good! I guess the best part was the combinations of flavors.

    You dont need all that garbage on the spam for it to be good musabi. Just sear the spam on high heat, make japanese steamed rice and then wrap it with toasted nori sheets. That is the way the Japanese immigrants ate it in their bento boxs in the cane fields in early 1900s and it is the way to eat it today! The best place to eat spam musabi........Zippy's Makiki on King Street and Piikoi in Honolulu. If you ask nicely at Side Street Inn they will make it for you!
