A classic Hawaiian snack, perfect for picnics and parties. This recipe features pan-fried Spam slices coated in a homemade sweet and savory sauce, served on pressed rice and wrapped in nori seaweed.
1. Wash rice thoroughly. Cook rice.
2. Open can of spam. Cut longways on its side into 8 even slices (tip: cut in halves for even pieces). Optional: score on the ‘faces’ of the slices to prevent ‘bubbles’ when cooking.
3. Lightly oil pan. Cook on med/med high heat til both sides brown. Set aside.
4. In a sauce pan mix together sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Cook on med high til it bubbles then constantly slow stir til it thickens. Sauce should still be slightly runny while coating your spoon.
5. Cut 4 nori sheets into halves.
6. Assemble musubi by filling 2/3 of your musubi mold with cooked rice. Sprinkle furikake. Press mold down all the way then release the outside mold while pressing down. Rice shape should pop out. Coat spam in sauce. Top spam on rice. Wrap with nori sheet with ‘shiny’ side outside and ‘rough’ side inside.
7. Enjoy!
