Easy Spam & Egg Musubi
Description
Easy Spam & Egg Musubi assembles essential Hawaiian-style flavors by sandwiching a slice of well-cooked Spam and folded egg omelette atop a base of seasoned sushi rice. The rice, flavored with a mixture of rice vinegar and sugar, provides a subtly sweet and tangy foreground that complements the salty, crispy Spam slices. Cooking the eggs in an omelette style and folding them into musubi-sized pieces creates a tender protein layer between the rice and meat. Wrapping them with nori seaweed strips helps hold the components together and adds a slightly briny and earthy layer.
The method involves carefully crisping the Spam slices to enhance texture and flavor, followed by cooking and forming the eggs into strips similar in size to the Spam. The sushi rice is then gently mixed with the vinegar seasoning to ensure it remains sticky and flavorful but not mushy. The assembled musubi can be served as a handheld snack or quick lunch, benefiting from the balance of protein, starch, and fats.
Pressing the rice into the shape of the Spam slice with wet hands prevents sticking and helps form a compact base. The use of nori strips not only keeps the layers intact but also adds a slight chew and additional sea flavor to each bite.
Ingredients
- 1 can SPAM sliced, or luncheon meat
- 4 egg beaten, large
- 40 ml rice vinegar
- 5 g granulated sugar
- 2 C sushi rice cooked

Instructions
Prepare the Spam/luncheon meat and eggs:
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, pan-fry slice of SPAM, until crisp and lightly browned.

- Lightly wipe away the excess grease from the pan.
- Add in the beaten eggs in 2 batches and cook omelette style, flipping halfway through, until both sides are lightly golden.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Fold up the omelette into a width similar to the SPAM slices and cut with a sharp knife.
- Set aside.
Season the rice:
- In a small saucepan, add in the sushi rice vinegar and sugar.
- Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Carefully drizzle and fan in the rice vinegar into the hot, cooked sushi rice.
- Mix with a rice paddle until the rice is combined with the vinegar.
Assemble:
- With wet hands, take about 3 tablespoon of rice and press into the shape of the Spam.
- Next, place a folded egg omelette on the rice.
- Add a slice of Spam onto the egg.
- Wrap the nori seaweed strip around the centre of the musubi.
- Repeat with the remainder.
