Spam Musubi

Ingredients

• Luncheon meat, pork and chicken, minced, canned, includes Spam Lite

  12 oz or 336g

• Oyster sauce

  Ready-to-serve

  ¼ cup or 72g

• Soy sauce

  Regular sodium, Shoyu

  ¼ cup or 64g

• Sugar

  White, granulated sugar

  ½ cup or 100g

• Roland Nori Dried Seaweed Sheets

  Generic

  100g

• White rice

  Short-grain, raw

  6 cup or 1.2kg

Directions

1. Slice the SPAM into about 8-10 slices (depending on how thick you like it) and put in a Ziplock bag. Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar until sugar is dissolved and add to the bag with the SPAM. Marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. Drain off marinade and fry SPAM on each side over medium heat until slightly crispy or until desired doneness. Some people like to glaze the SPAM with the marinade/sauce AFTER frying, either way tastes great!
3. Place a strip of nori on a cutting board or clean surface (shiny side down). Place your Musubi mold across the middle of the nori. Add Sushi Rice to the mold, pressing down firmly and evenly, so there is about 1-1 1/2 inches of rice. (dip the mold and your fingers in water as you go to prevent sticking)
4. Next, remove the mold from the rice. Now you will have a nice little block of rice right on the nori. Add some of the cooked spam to the top. Wrap up one side of the nori and stick it to the top of the SPAM, then wrap up the other side. Just like you are wrapping a nice little package. Use a little water on your finger to seal if needed. Serve warm.
5. Some like it dipped in soy sauce, some like it with ketchup, and some like it as is.
