SPAM Musubi

How to make SPAM Musubi Recipe

4 SERVINGS:

Ingredients:
2 sheets Nori, cut in quarters lengthwise
2 cups Cooked rice
6 ounces SPAM
3 tablespoons Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Mirin
2 tablespoons Granulated sugar

Method:
Open the SPAM on both sides. Remove the SPAM and cut into 8 slices.

Fry until slightly crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over mediumhigh heat, and reduce to low.

Add the SPAM slices, coating them in the mixture. When the mixture has thickened, remove the SPAM from pan and cool.

Lay a piece of nori lengthwise on a dry cutting board. Moisten the lower half of musubi maker (see Note) and place on lower third of nori.

Fill musubi maker with rice and press flat until the rice is 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) high.

Top with a slice of SPAM.

Remove the musubi maker and keep it in a bowl of warm water to keep it clean and moist.

Starting at the end toward you, fold nori over the SPAM and rice stack, and keep rolling until wrapped in the nori, like a ribbon. Slightly dampen the end of the nori to seal it. Repeat with the other 7 slices of SPAM, making sure to rinse off musubi maker after each use.

Note:
You can use the empty SPAM can that has been opened on both sides for the musubi mold, using your hands (or a piece of SPAM) to press down on the rice.
