Spam Musubi

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil
• 1 can low-sodium spam (cut into 6 slices)
• 2 cups warm steamed white rice (divide into 6 portions)
• 3 sheets toasted seaweed (nori, cut into 2-inch ( 5 cm) wide strips)
• Teriyaki sauce

Steps

1. 1

   Heat up a skillet, add the oil, pan-fry the sliced spam on medium heat until both sides are slightly brow in color. Remove from the skillet, drain the excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.

2. 2

   Keep a bowl of water next to you. On a flat surface, line a sheet of plastic wrap, then add a sheet of cut nori seaweed (2 to 3 inches/5 cm-7 cm wide). Place the musubi mold in the center of the seaweed.

3. 3

   Wet both hands and arrange each portion of the rice into the musubi maker. Make sure all the corners are filled with rice.

4. 4

   Press down the rice using the presser of the musubi maker. Make sure the rice is tightly packed. While pressing down, carefully remove the rectangle mold from the rice.

5. 5

   Brush some teriyaki sauce on top of the rice.

6. 6

   Place a piece of spam on top of the rice.

7. 7

   Pull both sides of the seaweed up and seal tightly. To seal the seaweed, use a few grains of rice on one end of the nori. The sticky rice will help the nori stick together. Repeat the same process until all the ingredients are used up.
