Spam musubi is a very popular snack and lunch food in Hawaii made in the tradition of Japanese ''onigiri'', also known as a ''musubi''. Spam musubi is composed of a block of salted rice with a slice of Spam (heated or unheated) on top and typically nori (seaweed) surrounding it to keep its shape.
[edit] Ingredients
1 |
can Spam, sliced lengthwise into 8-10 pieces |
6 |
cups cooked rice |
¼ |
cup soy sauce |
¼ |
cup sugar |
5 |
inch sheets nori, cut in half |
furikake (optional) |
|
musubi mold |
[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Combine soy sauce and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. |
Step 2 |
Coat Spam with soy sauce mixture, then transfer to a skillet. Fry Spam until lightly browned on both sides. |
Step 3 |
Center musubi mold over nori. Scoop rice into mold (enough to form a 1/2" layer) and press down with mold lid to flatten. Lightly sprinkle furikake over rice (optional). Place one slice of Spam on top. Add more rice, then place musubi mold lid on top. |
Step 4 |
Press down firmly on mold lid while removing mold up and off musubi. Wrap two ends of nori around musubi (you may need to moisten nori edge with water to help it stick). |

Sorry, that was sort of incohertent. You can make Spam Musubi with a strip OF NORI only about 1/3 the width.
