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.

Not too fond of seaweed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Have not tried this recipe but very tempted. LOVE Spam. I want to try this but do not like seaweed. What could I use... instead of seaweed or does it really need to be added?Read more

Just like da kine on Oahu.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best I have had since leaving Hawaii. I have tried several others from State Fairs in MN. and elsewhere. This is... easy to understand plus easy to make.Read more

Oink in a Can
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had't had Spam in almost 2 decades. I was bored and had to try this with ebi furikake. Used the rest of the Spamma for... Pineapple Fried Rice. Nice! Must continue to add to my junk food repertoire...Read more

Depends...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I think the likability depends on if you like the Seaweed. I did not like it at all. It had a very strong "fishy" odor and... aftertaste. That being said, the flavoring for the SPAM was good. I substituted rice wine for the Mirin, I could not find it. I didn't season the rice, probably would be better if rice was seasoned, too bland without. I think just the rice and SPAM would have been much better, I removed the seaweed and ate it that way. I used the SPAM can to shape the Musubi. I removed the bottom with a manual can opener by continuously inserting it at about a 45-degree angle around can.Read more

Reminds me of old times....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have not tried this recipe. I make a similar version and it is always a hit with those willing to venture into something... different! This is the only thing SPAM that I eat. I used to live in Hawaii and this was my morning breakfast staple. My whole family loves it. The kids especially enjoy helping me make this!Read more
