Spam Musubi

There is nothing better tasting than Spam Musubi with an ice cold soda! 

I am thankful that I brought over from Hawaii to WA my mold to put together  this yummy snack! 

Here is the way I make my spam musubi!  I cook for 2 people .. namely my husband and myself now that the kids are grown and left the nest. So this recipe if for two people.

Ingredients:

rice 1 1/2 cups

Spam (4 slices)

Nori ( 2 nori cut in half)

shoyu 1/4 cup

brown sugar 1/4 cup

canola oil 2 Tbsp

Directions:

Cook rice in rice cooker.  While rice is cooking get your spam out and cut four slices .. the can of spam will make 8 musubi so I just cover and save the balance of the spam for breakfast or to put in a bowl of saimin for another meal.

In a small bowl measure out 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup shoyu sauce.

We have always used ALOHA shoyu.. but any shoyu will do.

Mix up the sugar and shoyu well and add the spam slices and cover both sides of spam with the mixture. 

Have a skillet hot and add a little canola oil .  Then add the spam that has been in the mixture and let brown on both sides.. Remove from skillet .

By now your rice is cooked and you are ready to put together the musubi.

Take one of the Nori  halves and lay down on working area then get your mold and place in the middle of the nori.  Add about 2-3 teaspoons of cooked rice and spread it all around the mold.  Add one of the spam and then cover the spam with another layer of rice.  Take the top of the mold and press down .

Then slowly remove the top of the mold. Remove bottom mold from musubi.  Take one side of the nori and lay it over the top of the rice and then do the same for the other side of the Nori. Repeat till 4 musbui are made.

Your Spam Musubi is ready to eat!  If you want to save a few for later snack just wrap them up in saran wrap and put in the refrigerator.. When you are ready for the snack just warm up in the microwave..
NOTE# Sometimes I fry an egg and add it to the spam .. its good too! So there is a layer of rice , a layer of spam (with the shoyu,sugar mixture and then fried) then fry the egg and add to spam and then another layer of rice.. just follow  the directions you can't go wrong.
