Vegan Spam Musubi

Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked Sushi Rice
• 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 package Vegan Spam (e.g., Plant-Based Ham)
• 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 3 sheets Nori Seaweed Sheets

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the 3 cups of cooked sushi rice until evenly combined.
2. 2Slice the 1 package of vegan spam into 1/4-inch thick slices.
3. 3In a skillet over medium heat (around 350°F or 175°C), combine the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved into the soy sauce, add the vegan spam slices. Cook for 5-8 minutes, flipping the slices occasionally, until they are nicely browned and coated in a glaze.
4. 4Cut each of the 3 nori seaweed sheets in half crosswise, so you have 6 smaller rectangles. Place a musubi mold or a small, empty rectangular container on a clean, flat surface. Line the inside of the mold with one half-sheet of nori, ensuring the shiny side of the nori faces down.
5. 5Fill the musubi mold firmly with a layer of the seasoned sushi rice, about 1/2-inch thick. Place one slice of the glazed vegan spam on top of the rice.
6. 6Carefully fold the nori sheet up and over the rice and spam. Press gently around the edges to seal the musubi into a neat package.
7. 7Repeat steps 4 through 6 with the remaining nori, rice, and vegan spam slices until you have made 6 vegan spam musubi. Serve immediately or wrap them individually for later enjoyment.
