Ingredients You’ll Need:
To whip up some delicious Spam Musubi, gather these ingredients:
- 2 cups of sushi rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 can of Spam (12 oz)
- Soy sauce (for marinating)
- Nori sheets (seaweed)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Cooked eel sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Now that you’ve got your ingredients, let’s get down to business:
- Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Then, cook the rice according to package instructions.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Heat it slightly if needed.
- Once the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool down a bit.
- Slice the Spam into rectangular pieces (about 1/4-inch thick).
- In a pan over medium heat, sear the Spam slices until crispy on both sides. Pour soy sauce over the Spam while it cooks for added flavor.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a layer of rice over the nori, leaving some space at the top.
- Place a piece of seared Spam in the middle of the rice, and then add another layer of rice on top.
- Carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking it tightly. Moisten the edge of the nori to seal the roll.
- Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces and enjoy your homemade Spam Musubi!
