Spam Musubi with Furikake

Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked Short-Grain Rice
• 1 can Spam (low sodium)
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 4 Nori Seaweed Sheets
• 2 tbsp Furikake Rice Seasoning

Instructions

1. 1Open the can of Spam (low sodium) and cut it into 8 equal slices.
2. 2In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (low sodium) and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1-2 minutes. Add the 8 slices of Spam to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. The Spam should be nicely browned and caramelized, with a slightly sticky glaze.
3. 3Prepare your assembly station. Lay one of the 4 nori seaweed sheets flat on a clean, dry surface with the shiny side down. Place a musubi mold (if you have one) or a small rectangular container in the center of the nori sheet.
4. 4Fill the musubi mold or container with about 1 cup of the cooked short-grain rice. Press the rice down firmly and evenly to create a compact block. Carefully lift the mold or container off the rice block, leaving the rice on the nori sheet.
5. 5Place one slice of the cooked Spam on top of the pressed rice block.
6. 6Sprinkle about 1/2 tablespoon of the furikake rice seasoning evenly over the Spam.
7. 7Carefully fold the nori seaweed sheet up and around the rice and Spam. If the edges are not sticking, you can moisten the very edge of the nori with a tiny bit of water to help it seal. Press gently to secure the wrap.
8. 8Repeat steps 3 through 7 with the remaining 3 nori seaweed sheets, 3 cups of cooked short-grain rice, 3 slices of Spam, and 1.5 tablespoons of furikake rice seasoning. Serve immediately.
