  • Yield: 810 musubi 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A Hawaiian favorite made with savory Spam, fluffy eggs, sticky sushi rice, and crisp nori. Perfect for a quick snack or portable meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Spam (Classic or Lite)
  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for rice seasoning)
  • 4 full sheets nori (seaweed), cut in half

Instructions

  1. Cook sushi rice according to package instructions, then season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Keep covered with a damp towel. 
  2. Slice Spam into 8–10 pieces. Pan-fry until golden, then add soy sauce and sugar, letting it caramelize into a glaze. 
  3. Beat eggs with a pinch of salt, cook into a thin omelet, and slice into strips to match Spam size. 
  4. Place a half-sheet of nori on a clean surface. Using a musubi mold (or hands), layer rice, egg, Spam, and more rice, pressing firmly. 
  5. Wrap with nori to seal, slice if desired, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Best eaten fresh, but can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave with a damp towel. Great for meal prep or lunchboxes.
