Hello culinary creators. It’s time once again to delve into the easy and fun world of food.
This latest creation is a favorite of the Hawaiian Islands, Spam musubi.
An offshoot of the Japanese snack onigiri, it is made of rice and cooked Spam wrapped in seaweed, similar to, but not technically sushi.
Now a lot of you may think of Spam as nasty “mystery meat”, but fear not, this recipe’s preparation of it changes the flavor in a mouth watering way.
Easy to make, this will soon become a favorite of your home as well.
Ingredients:-
1 ¾ cups soy sauce
½ cup sugar
1 small grated ginger
2 to 3 stalks of green onion (chopped thin)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 can Spam
2 cups steamed jasmine rice
1 package of nori seaweed sheets
In a bowl, mix 1 ½ cups of the soy sauce with the sugar, adding a little sugar at a time and tasting with your finger until you get a flavor you like.
More sugar will make it sweeter, less will keep it salty. Add the ginger, green onions and garlic. Mix well.
Cut the Spam into 8 slices, soak them in the soy mixture for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Coat a frying pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the Spam in the pan and spray the tops. Cook 5 minutes on each side on medium high heat. Set aside.
Press the rice evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Evenly space the Spam slices over the rice. Using a knife cut the rice into rectangles creating beds of rice with Spam slices on top.
Place the nori sheets on a flat surface and use the remaining soy sauce to soften and flavor, rubbing it gently over one side of the nori with your finger.
Lift the rice beds out with a spatula (or use your fingers if you prefer) and place each in the middle of a nori sheet.
Wrap the Spam and rice up with the nori.
Enjoy.
