Steps:
- Soak uncooked rice for 4 hours; drain and rinse.

- In a separate bowl, stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Slice luncheon meat lengthwise into 10 slices, or to desired thickness, and marinate in sauce for 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Cook slices for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Cut nori sheets in half and lay on a flat work surface. Place a rice press in the center of the sheet, and press rice tightly inside. Top with a slice of luncheon meat, and remove press. Wrap nori around rice mold, sealing edges with a small amount of water. (Rice may also be formed by hand in the shape of the meat slices, 1 inch thick.) Musubi may be served warm or chilled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick spray.
- Add the Spam to a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, without disturbing, until the Spam cubes are golden brown on the bottom. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until most of the Spam is golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, garlic, chives, and salt and stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the bread about halfway through into 1-inch (2.54 cm) slices, stopping ½ inch (1.24 cm) from the bottom of the loaf to keep intact. Turn the loaf 90° and repeat cutting in the opposite direction.
- Stuff the Swiss cheese and Spam between the bread slices. Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet and pour the onion and garlic butter evenly over the top.
- Grease another sheet of foil with nonstick spray, then cover the loaf. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.
- Remove the bread from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot.
- Enjoy!

HAWAIIAN SPAM® BITES
When challenged to develop a recipe using Spam® as a main ingredient for a campout, this is what I came up with. Tasty bite-size pillows filled with Spam® and pineapple are served with sweet chili sauce for dipping. These are super easy to prepare, but do take a bit of time to fill and shape the pillows.
