Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) can SPAM, sliced into 6 pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sugar
2 large sheets nori, cut into thirds
1 ½ cups uncooked Japanese short-grain rice
2 tablespoons furikake

Instructions

Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Fry the Spam: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add Spam slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Make the glaze: Mix soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a bowl. Pour over Spam in the skillet, letting it simmer until the glaze thickens.
Assemble the musubi: Lay a strip of nori on a clean surface. Place the musubi mold on top, add rice, furikake, and a slice of Spam. Press gently with the mold’s top piece.
Wrap and serve: Fold the nori around the musubi, sealing it with a bit of water if needed. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
