Dairy-Free Spam Musubi

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 can Spam into 8 slices, each about 1.27 cm thick.
2. 2In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the 1 tablespoon of sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
3. 3Heat a 25.4 cm non-stick skillet over medium heat, about 163°C. Add the 8 slices of Spam to the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, brushing the slices with the soy sauce mixture during the last minute of cooking, until the Spam is browned and caramelized. The Spam should be firm to the touch.
4. 4Place one sheet of nori seaweed on a clean, dry surface with the shiny side down. Place a musubi mold in the center of the nori sheet.
5. 5Fill the musubi mold with about 1 cup of the 4 cups of cooked sushi rice. Press the rice down firmly and evenly into the mold to create a compact layer.
6. 6Place two slices of the cooked Spam on top of the rice inside the mold.
7. 7Carefully lift the musubi mold off the rice and Spam. Gently wrap the nori seaweed around the rice and Spam, pressing lightly to seal the edge. The moisture from the rice should help the nori stick.
8. 8Repeat steps 4 through 7 with the remaining 3 sheets of nori seaweed, 3 cups of cooked sushi rice, and 6 slices of Spam. Serve immediately.
