Scale
- 1 can of spam
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 4 eggs
- Kewpie mayo optional
- 240 g cooked sushi rice
- 2 sheet of nori cut into 8 long pieces
Instructions
-
Cook 2 cups of sushi rice. Let it cool to slightly warm.
-
Cut a can of spam into 8 slices and place it into a ziploc bag. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar into the bag and mix it well. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
-
Cut two nori sheets into 4 lengthwise to make 8 strips.
-
Meanwhile, loosely beat together the eggs in a small bowl. Cook the eggs in a large pan like an omelette. Set aside.
-
Cook each slice of spam until each side is crispy. (Optional) Brush the marinade from the bag onto each side of the spam.
-
Using your musubi mold or a clean spam can with the bottom hollowed out, cut out 8 pieces of spam-shaped eggs from the omelette
-
Place your musubi mold in the middle of one piece of nori. Layer a slice of spam into the mold followed by a piece of the omelette. (Optional) Drizzle a thin layer of kewpie mayo onto the egg. Scoop by 1 inch of cooked sushi rice (30g) into the mold. Press firmly and evenly with a spoon or the musubi mold press. Remove mold.
-
Wrap one side of the nori over the musubi followed by the other side. Use a few sushi rice grains as glue to stick the top nori layer to the bottom.
-
Serve immediately. Enjoy with soy sauce or by itself!
Notes
I recommend using a musubi maker OR a clean spam can with the bottom hollowed out
