Best 4 Hawaiian Spam Sushi Recipes

SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Soak uncooked rice for 4 hours; drain and rinse.
• In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar, and set aside to cool.
• 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.

HAWAIIAN SHOYU MUSUBI

Steps:

• Cut the Spam into 6 slices and pat the slices dry with paper towels. Wash and dry the Spam can, then line the inside with a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Spam slices and cook, flipping once, until evenly brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet, making sure to scrape in all of the sugar, and quickly flip the Spam slices to coat them. Turn off the heat, leaving the Spam in the skillet to continue absorbing the sauce as it cools.
• Add 3 tablespoons of rice to the Spam can, dipping the tablespoon measure in cold water as needed to prevent the rice from sticking. Use the back of the tablespoon to pack the rice into a level, compact layer. Top the rice with a generous pinch of furikake and a slice of Spam. Add 3 more tablespoons of rice and pack the rice into an even layer. Grasp the plastic wrap to lift the rice-Spam stack out of the can.
• Place a sheet of nori on a clean work surface rough-side up. Transfer the rice-Spam stack to the center of the nori--so its length is perpendicular to the length of the nori. Tightly fold one end of the nori up over the rice-Spam stack. Dab water across the second end of the nori, tightly fold it up over the first end and press to seal the seam. Flip the musubi over so the seam side faces down. Repeat with the remaining rice, furikake, Spam slices and nori, replacing the plastic wrap with a new sheet every time.
• Dampen a sharp knife with cold water and carefully slice each roll crosswise into 4 pieces.

SPAM SUSHI MAKI ROLLS

Steps:

• Place sheet of nori on bamboo mat and align with edge nearest you.
• Using a moistened hand, spread about 3/4-1 cup of rice evenly over 5 x 8-inch area leaving 2 inches nori at the far end. Using a knife, spread a light layer of mayo on the rice surface. If adding wasabi, spread a light layer now.
• Arrange cucumber stick(s) 1 inch from edge nearest you, followed by Spam strip(s). Lift mat with thumbs; keep cucumber and meat in place with fingers, and roll mat over meat and away from you.
• When mat touches the rice, lift mat and continue to roll as you would for a jelly roll. Roll again in mat and apply slight pressure to tighten roll.
• To serve, cut each roll into eight pieces. Arrange sushi slices on platter, cut side up.
• I like to just sprinkle a dash of Maggi seasoning sauce onto each sushi, rather than dipping the entire thing in soy sauce, but the choice is yours!
• Enjoy!

SPAM MUSUBI RECIPE BY TASTY

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!
