Ingredients
  
  • 1 can Spam
  • 2 cups cooked short grain rice
  • furikake optional
  • 4 nori sheets
  • 1 tb oyster sauce
  • 2 tb soy sauce
  • 2 tb brown sugar
Rice Seasoning [optional]
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tb sugar
  • 1 tb salt
Recipe Instructions
 
  • {optional} Heat rice vinegar, salt, and sugar in a pot until gently boiling. Stir and remove from heat. Allow to cool. Fan seasoning over cooked rice and gently mix.
  • Mix together oyster sauce, brown sugar and soy sauce. Set aside.
  • Slice the Spam into 8 even slices. In a large sauce pan over medium heat, add oil. Once warm, add Spam slices face down. If your pan isn’t big enough to fit all 8, do 2 - 4 at a time.
  • Fry for about a minute and turn over. Fry for another minute and then add your sauce. Move Spam occasionally to prevent burning and make sure they are evenly coated. Cook until Spam begins to turn golden.
  • Clean out the Spam can and dry. Line with cling wrap, tucking into the can, and making sure all corners of the cling wrap are outside of the can.
  • Scoop roughly 3 tb of rice into the can, pressing the rice down evenly. Sprinkle rice with furikake if using. Next add a slice of Spam.
  • Cut nori into thirds, or desired thickness. I like cutting it into thirds because it allows the rice and Spam to stick out slightly.
  • Gather the corners of the cling wrap, gently lift out, and place on a flat surface. Lay a piece of nori on top so it’s vertical, making a cross. Lift up the musubi and carefully wrap the nori around. I like to press a piece of rice into one end of the nori so it can stick together.
  • Repeat process until all Spam has been used.
