Ingredients
- 3 cups short-grain rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 can (12 ounces) Spam, cut crosswise into 10 slices
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup sugar
- 5 heets Nori seaweed, cut lengthwise into two
Instructions
- Rinse rice two to three times and drain well. In a rice cooker, combine rice and water. Soak for about 30 minutes and then turn on the rice cooker to cook rice.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce and sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add Spam slices in a single layer and cook, turning once or twice, for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until slightly crisp.
- Add soy sauce-sugar mixture and continue to cook, turning Spam slices once or twice, until liquid is fully absorbed. Remove from pan.
- Lay nori seaweed shiny side down on a flat working surface.
- Place musubi press in the center of the seaweed. Spoon about ⅔ cup of cooked rice into mold. Press down rice to pack tightly into about 1-inch thick. Pull up mold to release rice block.
- Place a grilled Spam slice on top of the block of rice.
- Fold one end of the seaweed over and tuck between the Spam and rice and then fold the other side of the seaweed over to wrap around the rice and Spam. Moisten edge of seaweed with water to seal.
Notes
- If you don't have a musubi press mold to pack and shape the cooked rice, use the Spam can by cutting its top and bottom. It's the perfect size and works like a charm!
- You can also easily shape the rice by hand. Lightly wet your hands with water and sprinkle with salt in between shaping to keep the rice from sticking.
