  1. Cook the rice. Optionally add Sushi Vinegar.

  3. Start frying the spam slices. After 1-2 minutes, add the soy and sugar mixture. Cook, flipping occasionally, till soy mixture has reduced and thickened.
  4. Assemble. Lay down a sheet of nori and place the masubi maker on top. Put some rice in the masubi maker and press it down firmly. Add some furikake, a slice of spam, and some more furikake. Top with more rice and press down firmly again. While pressing down, remove the masubi maker. Wrap the nori around and seal.
