Spam Musubi

This is a very popular snack in Hawaii. This is more like sushi without the vinegar in the rice. Making this is very easy; even kids can do it! Give it a try, and let some little ones help out if you’d like!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups calrose rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can spam
  • Nori sheets
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Directions:

  • Wash the rice until water runs clear.
  • Place the rice in a colander.
  • In a pot, add 3 cups of water and the rice.
  • Cover and cook on medium high heat. When it starts to boil lower the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is done.
  • While the rice is cooking prepare your marinade for the spam. Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and pepper. Marinate the spam for 15 minutes.
  • In a skillet, heat oil over medium high heat and cook the spam until golden brown on both sides.
  • Place the musubi mold in the center of the nori sheets then add around 3 to 4 tablespoon of rice and press the rice until its firm.
  • Add the spam on top and add another layer of rice. Press firmly.
  • Remove the musubi mold and fold over the nori to the top and do the same on the other side.
  • Cut the musubi sushi with a wet knife around 2 inches long.
  • Serve while warm. Enjoy!

Note:

We made both so we can test which one is better…with eggs or without. Well, it depends, iI like the one with eggs and my kids like the one without so.
