Spam Musubi (Gluten-Free Rice)

Ingredients

• 1 can Spam
• 4 cups Cooked sushi rice
• 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari)
• 1 tablespoon Sugar

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 can Spam into 1/4-inch thick slices.
2. 2In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (tamari) and the 1 tablespoon of sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
3. 3Heat a skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the Spam slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Brush the Spam slices with the soy sauce-tamari-sugar mixture during the last minute of cooking, until glazed.
4. 4Place one sheet of nori seaweed on a clean, dry surface with the shiny side down. If using a musubi maker, place it on the nori. Fill the musubi maker with a layer of the 4 cups of cooked sushi rice, pressing it down firmly to form a block.
5. 5Place one slice of the grilled Spam on top of the rice block.
6. 6Carefully lift the musubi maker (if used) and fold the nori sheet up and around the rice and Spam. Press gently to seal the edge of the nori. Repeat this process with the remaining Spam, rice, and nori sheets.
7. 7You can serve each Spam musubi whole, or slice each one in half with a sharp knife.
