An easy and popular Hawaiian snack, make your own Spam Musubi at home using rice, spam, and seaweed. If you're a spicy fiend, try mixing in some hot oil to the rice for a change.
Rice Seasoning (optional)
Glazed Spam/Luncheon Meat
Mix light soy sauce and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
From a 12 oz can of Spam/luncheon meat, cut 4 slices (the thickness is up to your preference).
Pan fry over medium heat until the bottom has browned and flip it over to do the same for the other side (3-4 minutes on each side).
Turn the heat down to medium low and pour in the soy sauce sugar mixture into the pan, making sure to coat both sides of the meat. Let it cook for one minute before turning off the heat.
Seasoning the rice (optional)
In a bowl, mix the freshly cooked hot rice with rice vinegar, salt and hot oil until well combined.
Assembling
Line the empty Spam/luncheon meat can with a saran wrap and add 1/2 cup of rice. Press it down firmly to mold the rice. Optional step: add furikake on top.
Remove the saran wrap gently with the molded rice and place a slice of the glazed meat on top. Finish it off by wrapping it with a strip of roasted seaweed (see notes). Seal the roasted seaweed together by using the soy sauce sugar glaze or with a bit of water. Serve and enjoy!
