Spam Musubi Recipe

Hawaiian · Snack · 25 min total

A Hawaiian snack inspired by Japanese onigiri, featuring a slice of teriyaki-glazed Spam on a block of sushi rice wrapped in nori.

Ingredients

• 1 (12 oz) can Spam
• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 sheets nori, cut in half crosswise
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Rinse sushi rice in cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or pot; cook according to manufacturer's instructions or until tender.
2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. When rice is done, transfer to a large bowl, fold in vinegar mixture, and let cool to room temperature.
3. Slice Spam lengthwise into 8 equal slices. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, and 2 tablespoons sugar to make teriyaki sauce.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Fry Spam slices until lightly browned on both sides. Pour teriyaki sauce over Spam and cook until glaze thickens, turning to coat.
5. Line a musubi mold or a small rectangular container with plastic wrap. Place a strip of nori on a cutting board. Fill mold with about 1/3 cup rice, press firmly. Place a glazed Spam slice on top, then press another layer of rice on top. Remove from mold and place on the nori strip. Wrap nori around the rice block, sealing with a grain of rice. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
6. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap for later.

Tips

• Use a musubi mold for uniform shape; a Spam can with the bottom removed works as a substitute.
• Wet your hands with water and a little salt to prevent rice from sticking when pressing.
• Store wrapped musubi in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in microwave for 20 seconds.
