Spam musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii. It is a type of sushi that features marinated cooked Spam and rice wrapped with nori. I got this recipe from a local Hawaiian friend when I was living there.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.25 cups soy sauce
  • 0.25 cups oyster sauce
  • 1 container fully cooked luncheon meat , 12 ounce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 5 sheetss sushi nori , dry seaweed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Soak uncooked rice in water to cover for 4 hours; drain and rinse.

  3. 3

    Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove pan from heat and stir in rice vinegar. Set aside to cool.

  5. 5

    Stir sugar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce together in a medium bowl until sugar is completely dissolved.

  6. 6

    Slice luncheon meat lengthwise into 10 slices, or to desired thickness, and marinate in sauce for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook slices until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.

  8. 8

    Cut nori sheets in half and lay on a flat work surface.

  9. 9

    Place a rice press in the center of a sheet, and press rice tightly inside.

  10. 10

    Top with a slice of luncheon meat, and remove press.

  11. 11

    Wrap nori around rice, sealing edges with a small amount of water. (Rice may also be formed by hand in the shape of the meat slices and about 1-inch thick.)

  12. 12

    Serve musubi warm or chilled.
