Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can Spam cut into 10 slices
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cups cooked sushi rice
- 5 sheets nori cut in half
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce until sugar dissolves.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Spam slices and cook until browned, 2–3 minutes per side.
- Pour soy sauce mixture into the skillet and cook with Spam, turning slices occasionally until they are evenly coated and sauce thickens slightly, 2–3 more minutes.
- Place a half-sheet of nori shiny side down. Center musubi mold or cleaned Spam can lined with plastic wrap over it.
- Add about 1/4 cup rice into the mold and press down firmly. Top with a slice of glazed Spam.
- Remove the mold and wrap the nori around the musubi. Wet the edge with water to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Notes
You can wrap each musubi in plastic wrap to keep it fresh and portable. Add furikake to the rice for extra flavor.
