Spam Musubi

Spam musubi is composed of a slice of grilled Spam sandwiched either in between or on top of a block of rice, wrapped together with nori in the tradition of Japanese onigiri. It is very convenient to serve as snack or school school lunch. 

Ingredients

Cooked rice - 6 cups, prefer sushi rice
Spam - 1 can, sliced lengthwise into 7 pieces, or your preferred thickness
Sushi nori - 3 1/2 sheets sushi nori
Furikake - 1/3 cup 
Teriyaki sauce or soy sauce

Steps

1. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the sliced Spam in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from the heat & set aside for Spam musubi assembly. You can also use air fryer to brown the slices.
2. Add rice to clean Spam can, pressing down firmly and evenly, so there is about 1-1 ½ inches of rice. Gently pound the can to let the rice block out.
3. Place a strip of nori on a cutting board or clean surface (shiny side down). Place rice block in the middle of the nori. Spread some teriyaki sauce or soy sauce on the rice block; Sprinkle a generous amount of furikake seasoning; stack up a slice of cooked spam. Wrap the nori around to seal the musubi. If the nori is not sticking together, add a few cooked rice grains as "glue".
