Description
Spam Musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii. It is a type of sushi that has marinated cooked spam in sushi. I got this recipe from a local Hawaiian friend when I was living there.
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) container fully cooked luncheon meat (e.g. Spam)
- 5 sheets sushi nori (dry seaweed)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Soak uncooked rice in water to cover for 4 hours; drain and rinse.
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat
- cover
- and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in rice vinegar. Set aside to cool.
- Stir together sugar
- soy sauce
- and oyster sauce in a medium bowl until sugar is completely dissolved. Slice luncheon meat lengthwise into 10 slices
- or to desired thickness
- and marinate in sauce for 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook slices until lightly browned
- about 2 minutes per side.
- Cut nori sheets in half and lay on a flat work surface. Place a rice press in the center of a sheet
- and press rice tightly inside. Top with a slice of luncheon meat
- and remove press. Wrap nori around rice
- sealing edges with a small amount of water. (Rice may also be formed by hand in the shape of the meat slices and about 1-inch thick.)
- Serve musubi warm or chilled.
