Spam Musubi

Ingredients

  • Spam in 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon mirin
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons neutral oil (canola, vegetable) I use what I have on hand, usually olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine the marinade ingredients and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Crisp up the slices in a frying pan.
  • Lay a strip of nori down. I like to make the width slightly smaller than the mold. I.e., if your mould is 3” long, make the nori strip about 2” wide and ~6” long. Long enough to wrap around the rice and spam, then place your musubi mould down and put a small scoop of rice in the mould, pressing down.
  • Top with a slice of the spam.
  • Remove the mould and fold the nori sheet around, wetting the end of the nori to make it stick.
