Time 30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

½ cup short grain white rice
½ cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ Spam®, sliced in half lengthwise (1 12 ounce can (340 G))
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 strips nori, 2 in wide (5 cm)

Steps:

Rinse the rice in cool water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a small pot, combine the rice and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for another 15 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and vinegar. Microwave for 1 minute, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Transfer the rice to a medium bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the rice. Stir with a spatula to combine. Set aside.
Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Spam slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, and sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet. Let the sauce get bubbly and thick. Coat the Spam slices evenly in the glaze, turning as needed. Remove the pan from the heat.
Clean the Spam can and line with plastic wrap. Add a packed ⅓ cup of rice into the bottom of the can, pressing down firmly. Add a piece of cooked Spam on top and press down firmly again. Use the plastic wrap to lift the rice and Spam from the can and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Lay a strip of nori, shiny side down, on a clean surface. Place the Spam and rice stack at the center on top and wrap the nori around, using a little water on your finger to seal the nori. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Enjoy!

Tips:

For the perfect spam musubi rice, use a medium-grain rice like Calrose or Koshihikari. Sushi rice is not recommended as it is too sticky.
When cooking the rice, be sure to rinse it well before cooking to remove the starch. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
When seasoning the rice, use a combination of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. The vinegar will help to give the rice a slightly sour flavor, while the sugar and salt will help to balance out the flavors.
To make the spam slices crispy, pan-fry them in a little bit of oil until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
When assembling the spam musubi, be sure to use a nori sheet that is slightly larger than the rice ball. This will help to ensure that the nori sheet wraps the rice ball completely.
To make the spam musubi easier to eat, cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Conclusion:

Spam musubi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover spam. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
