- 6 large eggs
- 1 can spam sliced into 6 slices and pan fried
- 6 sheets seaweed (nori)
- 3 cups cooked asian rice
- salt
- furikake
- iceberg lettuce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Cook the rice according to my recipe for cooking Asian rice and cool. Toss the rice with a little salt and the soy sauce, rice vinegar and mirin.
Pan fry the spam over medium low until it is browned and crispy.
Fry the eggs over medium until the yolks are fully cooked.
Place one sheet of seaweed on some plastic wrap as shown in the pictures. Place a thin layer of rice in the mold and press it down. Add a piece of spam, an egg, some lettuce, and top with another thin layer of rice and press into the mold again. Sprinkle the top of the rice with some furikake.
Remove the mold and fold the two opposite corners of the seaweed across in the thinner direction and use a little water to seal. Fold up the other two sides like wrapping a present and seal with a little water. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap to help the seaweed keep it shape around the ingredients.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients. These are eaten at room temp. They can be stored in the fridge if you have leftovers but the rice will harden up a bit as it does in the fridge so return to room temp before eating.
