Spam Rice Balls

Bahan-bahan

2 cups cooked short-grain rice (leftover rice works great for this!)

6 -8 sheets roasted seaweed, cut into strips

1 tbsp furikake

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

125 g spam, diced (around 4 slices of spam)

1/2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp sake (can substitute with white cooking wine or water)

Petunjuk

Begin by cooking your short-grain rice over a stove top or a rice cooker. Once cooked, measure 2 cups of the cooked rice and spread the rice over a plate to cool completely. Set aside.

Over medium heat, sauté the diced spam for about 5-10 minutes until browned and lightly crispy.

Mix together the soy sauce, sugar, and sake in a separate bowl until combined. Pour this over the crispy spam cubes and continue to cook until the sauce reduces and coats the spam. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine together the cooled rice, caramelized spam, roasted seaweed, furikake, and toasted sesame seeds. Gently mix all the ingredients together.

*Shape the rice into small balls about 1-2 tbsps in size. Be sure to squeeze and pack the rice tightly to prevent them from crumbling. You should end up with around 12-15 rice balls in the end.

Sprinkle the tops of the rice balls with more sesame seeds or furikake. Serve at room temperature or slightly cold. Enjoy!
