Hawaiian Spam Musubi

dry short grain sushi rice

water

rice vinegar

sugar

salt

can 12 oz Spam

soy sauce

seaweed

Prepare the rice. Wash the rice until the water runs clear. Add the washed rice and water in your rice cooker and cook. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar and salt until the sugar dissolves. Then drizzle the mixture over the cooked rice and carefully mix it with a rice paddle until combined.

Cook the spam. Slice the spam into 1/4 inch thick slices. Using a medium sized skillet on medium-high heat, cook the spam until browned and crispy on the edges for about 4 minutes, flip after 2 minutes for even cooking.

Caramelize the spam. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and water until combined. Turn the heat to medium low heat and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the spam and flip the spam to evenly coat, about 30 seconds. Next, pour in the soy sauce mixture. Swirl the sauce and flip the spam to evenly distribute. Then let the spam gently simmer until the sauce dissolves around 4 minutes. Flip the spam slices every 2 minutes.

Assemble. Line the inside of your Spam can with plastic wrap. Add about 1/2 cup of rice into the lined spam container and gently press down to fill the mold. Pull the rice out of the mold. Place a slice of caramelized spam on top of the nori strip at the bottom, then place the rice on top of the spam, then roll up the spam and rice wrapping the nori around it. Secure the end by wetting with water and place the musubi with the seam side down. Continue with remaining pieces. For a breakfast musubi option, add a rolled egg omelette.

Easy to make spam, eggs and rice – a Hawaiian-inspired breakfast that is filling and delicious. A quick and easy recipe made with pantry ingredients.

spam (12 oz/ 350 g)

fish sauce

garlic powder

vegetable oil

eggs

full-fat milk

butter

Cook rice

Cook rice: Wash the rice in a sieve. Bring water to a boil, add some salt and the rice and simmer the rice according to the sort you are using and the package instructions (Note 1).

Marinate spam

Marinate spam: Mix soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and garlic powder in a bowl. Cut the spam into cubes, add them to the bowl, and stir to coat all over. Leave to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes (Note 2).

Cook spam

Cook meat: Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. Lift the meat from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Don’t discard the marinade! Fry meat on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, often stirring, until the cubes are slightly crispy.

Caramelize spam

Caramelize spam: Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and stir the spam for another 2 minutes or until the cubes are glossy and coated with the sauce.

Pan: You will need another pan for cooking the eggs; the one you used before will be too sticky to use again without washing.

Whisk eggs

Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in another bowl.

Cook eggs

Cook eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan. Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the beaten eggs. Leave untouched for 15-20 seconds or until lightly set at the bottom. Use a spatula to move the mixture around the pan and cook the eggs evenly into large folds. Move around gently for another 2 minutes or so until the eggs are mostly set. They will continue cooking slightly after you’ve turned off the heat.

Serve

Serve: Arrange the ingredients on a large warm plate and serve immediately.
