Spam Musubi Recipe

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 25 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

12 ounces Spam

1/4 cup oyster sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup sugar

Nori (roasted seaweed used for sushi, cut into halves or thirds)

6 cups cooked sushi rice

furikake (optional)

Directions

Marinate

Slice the Spam into about 8-10 slices depending on how thick you like it. Place it 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 15 minutes.

Fry

Drain off marinade and fry Spam on each side over medium heat until slightly crispy or until desired doneness.

Assemble 1

Place a strip of nori roasted seaweed on a cutting board (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.

Optional: Add a sprinkling of furikake (a mixture of sesame seeds and little bits of nori) for extra flavor.

Assemble 2

Next, remove the mold from the rice. Now you will have a nice little block of rice right on the nori. Add a slice of cooked Spam on top of the rice.

Serve

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.
