how to: make a spam musubi

this is kind of a weird post since (1) most people i know from the mainland think spam is disgusting and (2) everyone in hawaii knows how to make a spam musubi, haha. but i thought i'd share just in case someone not from hawaii would look and say, "hey! spam might taste pretty good with rice and seaweed" ;) anyway, before you knock it, you should definitely TRY IT. it's a major staple in hawaii for pot lucks, bbqs, and little kids! You never know, your kids might like it...

What You'll Need:
-White Rice
-Nori Sheets (Seaweed, like the ones to wrap sushi in)
-Shoyu
-Sugar
Spam
-Furikake, if you can find it

Heat up equal parts of shoyu & sugar in a large pan and once hot, let the spam soak in it


Lay the sushi seaweed wrap down. This little rectangular contraption is actually created to make spam musubis, but I'd imagine you can just use your hands.


Pour some rice onto the sheet


Press it down firmly (with your hands if you've got to) so it's nice and compact



If you've got furikake, add it to the rice now


Put the spam onto the rice


Roll it up like a sushi (wet one end of the sheet so that it will stay closed!)


Tada! Super fast, super simple <-- the only kind of thing I'll attempt at making ;) Will you be trying to make this for your kids or is spam still absolutely disgusting??

  2. Hahaha i've never seen this before! My home state is the home of the spam museum - so cool.

    I've never been a fan of the actual stuff, but I might have to try this and tell myself it's sushi!
