spam and rice

Spam musubi is an easy snack or lunch made with rice topped with fried slices of spam and wrapped in nori seaweed. Add sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, furikake, and egg (tamagoyaki) for a delicious Hawaiian snack!

Spam Musubi

spam (sliced ⅓ inch thick; See Note 1)

nori (cut 2 to 3 inches thick)

½ cups cooked short or medium-grain rice (packed)

furikake ((optional))

soy sauce

sugar

mirin (or sake, white wine)

Pan-fry spam

Pan-fry spam: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and fry the spam slices in a bit of oil. Optional sauce: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin to the pan and let it reduce and coat the spam pieces.

Rice Layer

Form rice layer: Add ½ cup of cooked rice to an empty spam container lined with plastic wrap or to a musubi mold. Firmly press it down with the back of a spoon or the mold lid. Aim for 1⅔ inch height or more, depending on the thickness of the spam slices. Add more rice if needed. If using, sprinkle furikake on top. Repeat with the remaining rice for a total of three musubi.

Spam and nori

Add spam and nori: Place the spam slices on top of the rice and wrap the musubi with strips of nori, placing it seam side down. If using, brush any remaining musubi sauce on top of the spam and serve. Enjoy!
