Ingredients (8)

Teriyaki Sauce

Instructions

  1. Cut spam (1 can) into 6 slices and nori (2 sheets) into 6 strips (3 strips per sheet).

  2. Crack eggs (2) into a small bowl, season with salt and beat til mixed well.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce (2 Tbsp), brown sugar (2 Tbsp), and mirin (2 Tbsp) to make a teriyaki sauce.

  4. In a pan over a medium heat, cook the spam til golden brown on both sides. No oil is needed since the spam will render out it’s own fat (similar to bacon).

  5. Add in the teriyaki sauce and coat both sides of spam. Cook til sauce is thickened and caramelized.

  6. In a small pan over medium–low heat, pan fry beaten egg mixture til it’s cooked through. Keep it flat, in a thin sheet. Remove it from the pan and set aside on a plate.

  7. Line the empty spam can with saran wrap (with some sticking out so you can easily pull it out).

  8. Layer rice, furikake, egg, and spam inside the can. Be sure to compress the rice tightly with everything else to prevent the musubi from falling apart.

  9. Lift the layers out of the can using the saran wrap sticking out and unwrap.

  10. Wrap with nori strip (shiny side out, rough side under) and use rice grains to seal the edge of the nori strip together.
