Ingredients
- 3 cups sushi rice cooked or see Notes below for how much uncooked sushi rice to use
- 12 oz SPAM low sodium kind ideally
- 1 heet nori
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoon Regular soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon mirin
- 2 tablespoon sake cooking kind
Rice seasoning
- ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar/white vinegar
Instructions
- Season hot cooked rice with sugar, salt and rice vinegar. Cover and let it cool down to room temperature as you prepare other ingredients.
- Lay spam on a clean surface. Cut spam into 5 equal pieces for the perfect thickness. Clean and reserve the spam can for later as a mold.
- In a small bowl, combine regular soy sauce, mirin, and sake to make the teriyaki sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Fry slices of spam in a single layer for 1 ½ to 2 minutes per side, until pinkish golden brown. Do not go above medium-high heat.
- Pour teriyaki sauce over cooked spam slices and let it fry in sauce for 1 minute on each side until it becomes a thick glaze. Immediately remove the spam from hot pan and transfer to an oiled plate to prevent the spam from sticking to plate. Note: Do not leave spam in pan as the teriyaki glaze will start to burn it with the residual heat.
- Line the clean can with a large piece of plastic wrap.
- Divide seasoned rice into 5 equal portions using a wet rice paddle. Scoop 1 equal amount of rice into the bottom of the can.
- Cover the rice with the plastic wrap. Then using your fingers, pack the rice into base of can until top is flat. Be careful not to cut yourself along the sharp edges of the can, feel free to use a utensil to help you with this step. Remove the block of white rice from can by pulling the cling film out and unwrap it on a cutting board.
- Cut your nori sheet horizontally into 5 equal sized strips with scissors. Wet your hands with a little water to prevent the rice from sticking and place sliced spam on top of rice with the shiny side up. Wrap a strip of seaweed around the whole piece. Enjoy!

Notes
- To make fresh rice for this recipe, rinse 225 grams/1 cup + 2 tablespoon uncooked rice in cold water until water runs clear and add to a rice cooker or pot. Then place your pointer finger on top of the rice and fill the pot with enough cold water so it reaches the first knuckle or joint of your finger. Cook the rice in the rice cooker or cook rice on the stove top by bringing it to a boil on medium-high heat, then reduce to low-medium heat and cover. Avoid stirring if possible.
