Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Skillet
- Frying Pan
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon Cooking Oil
- 1 can Low-Sodium Spam, cut into 6 slices
- 2 cups Warm Steamed White Rice, divided into 6 portions
- 3 sheets Toasted Seaweed, cut into 2-inch wide strips
- 1 bottle Teriyaki Sauce
Instructions
- Heat up a skillet, add the cooking oil, pan-fry the sliced spam on medium heat until both sides are slightly browned. Remove from the skillet and drain the excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Keep a bowl of water next to you. On a flat surface, line a sheet of plastic wrap, then add a sheet of cut nori seaweed. Place the musubi mold in the center of the seaweed.
- Wet both hands and arrange each portion of the rice into the musubi maker, ensuring all corners are filled.
- Press down the rice using the presser of the musubi maker. Make sure it’s tightly packed. Carefully remove the rectangle mold from the rice.
- Brush some teriyaki sauce on top of the rice.
- Place a piece of spam on top of the rice.
- Pull both sides of the nori up and seal tightly. Use a few grains of rice on one end to help the nori stick together. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used up.
