Spam Musubi (Egg-Free)

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked Sushi Rice
• 1 can Spam (sliced)
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Tamari for Gluten-Free)
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 4 sheets Nori Seaweed Sheets

Instructions

1. 1Combine the 2 tablespoons of Soy Sauce (Tamari for Gluten-Free) and the 1 tablespoon of Sugar in a small bowl to create the marinade.
2. 2Open the 1 can of Spam and slice the entire block into 8 pieces, each approximately 1/4-inch thick. Place all 8 Spam slices into the Tamari and sugar mixture, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them marinate for 5 minutes, turning them once.
3. 3Heat a large 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 375°F / 190°C). Place the 8 marinated Spam slices in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized, and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached.
4. 4Lay one of the 4 Nori Seaweed Sheets flat on a clean, dry surface. Using a musubi mold or your hands, form 1 cup of the Cooked Sushi Rice into a compact rectangular block and place it in the center of the nori.
5. 5Place two slices of the cooked Spam on top of the rice block. Bring one end of the nori sheet over the Spam and rice, then bring the other end over to meet it, overlapping slightly, and press firmly to seal the musubi.
6. 6Repeat steps 4 and 5 three more times, using the remaining 3 Nori Seaweed Sheets, 3 cups of Cooked Sushi Rice, and 6 slices of cooked Spam, to create a total of 4 Spam Musubi. Serve immediately.
