Recipe:

Serving: 8 pcs

Time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients:

• 4 cups Cooked Rice 

• 1 can Spam

• 1 & 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce

• 1 & 1/2 tbsp Mirin

• 1 tbsp Sugar

• 4 pcs Nori Seaweed (4x8 inch) 

Instructions:  

1. Cook the rice to prepare. 

2. Cut each sheet of nori in half, creating 2x8 inch strips.

3. Cut the spam into 8 equal pieces.

4. Heat a pan and cook the spam slices on both sides until golden brown.

5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, Mirin, and sugar. Pour the mixture into the pan, coating each slice of spam evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.

6. Line a clean, empty spam can with plastic wrap, leaving some wrap hanging over the sides. Place 1/2 cup of rice into the can and press down firmly with a spoon to pack the rice, especially in the corners. Lift the rice block out pulling the plastic wrap.

7. Place a slice of spam on top of each rice block. Wrap each with a strip of Nori. Wrap the entire Musubi in plastic wrap to hold its shape.

8. Unwrap the Spam Musubi just before serving and enjoy.
