Spam Musubi
Seasoned, fried spam on sushi rice with nori
Ingredients
- 1 can spam sliced into 8 pieces long ways
- 2 cups Asian rice cooked in a rice cooker or according to my method on stove top
- 4 tbsp rice vinegar
- sprinkle of salt for the rice
- nori sheets
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to your rice cooker instructions or my stove top method instructions. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then mix and sprinkle with the vinegar and a little salt. Recover and allow to cool.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the spam. Allow to slowly brown on each side. Flipping as needed so that it doesn't get too dark. You definitely want it lightly browned, but if it gets too dark it doesn't taste as good. While that is cooking, mix the soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, sriracha and water. When the spam is done, add this mixture and coat the spam and allow to fry a little more. Then set aside to cool slightly.
- If using a mold, press some rice into the mold then add the spam on top. Slice the nori sheets into strips and wrap around the rice and spam and seal with a tiny bit of water. If you don't have a mold, press some rice flat about 1 inch high and shape roughly to fit the spam. Wrap with nori. I like to toast my nori slightly over an open flame on the stove before cutting. Serve slightly warm or at room temp.
