Easy Spam Musubi Recipe: A Hawaiian Snack

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup oyster sauce
• 1 (12 ounce) container fully cooked luncheon meat (such as Spam)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 5 sheets sushi nori (dry seaweed)

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. Soak the uncooked rice in water for 4 hours, then drain and rinse thoroughly.
3. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, stir, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Let it cool completely.
5. In a bowl, mix the sugar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce until the sugar dissolves fully.
6. Cut the luncheon meat into 10 slices (or your preferred thickness) and marinate in the sauce for 5 minutes.
7. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the spam slices until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
8. Cut the nori sheets in half and lay them out on a flat surface.
9. Put a rice press in the center of a nori sheet, and firmly press rice inside.
10. Place a slice of the cooked luncheon meat on top of the rice, and remove the press.
11. Wrap the nori around the rice and seal the edges with a little water. (You can also shape the rice by hand to match the meat slices, about 1-inch thick.)
12. Enjoy your spam musubi warm or chilled.
