This is our favorite recipe for cooking spam. You not only use it for musubi but you can dice the spam, cook it in this sauce and serve it over rice with some steamed broccoli or bok choy. Delicious! We got the recipe from Uncle Herbert Victor, our friend from Wahiawa Assembly of God when we lived on the aina. Recipe can be doubled.
Spam
1 can spam sliced
2 TBS shoyu (aloha! is the best or another "wheat" tasting shoyu. Not Japanese)
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS mirin (japanese rice wine vinegar)
Fry spam in this until it thickens.
Sushi Rice
HOT cooked rice (calrose rice. Hinode is our house brand)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 TBS salt
Mix sugar, vinegar and salt in bowl. Heat in microwave 30 seconds. Stir well so sugar dissolves. Pour over HOT rice, mix well.
Musubi
Sushi rice, teri-spam and nori. Cut nori into strips to fit whatever size you like on your musubi. Put a piece of nori in your musubi mold. Add spam on top, hot rice mix on that. Roll nori over it and pat down. Make sure spam and rice are HOT! because that's what molds the nori over it to soften it and make it yummy, not crunchy.
You can also add toasted sesame to the rice or to the musubi, your choice. If you use your spam can to make musubi, pat your rice in the can, dump out carefully and you have the shape. Wrap in nori/spam quickly.
This is for Josh because he requested it a few times recently. xoxo
