Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked white rice

• Sushi Vinegar (Optional)

• mix

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1/8 cup (2 tbsp) sugar (more or less to taste)

• 1 can low-sodium spam

• 4 - 5 nori sheets

• furikake

Directions

1. Cook the rice. Optionally add Sushi Vinegar.

2. Slice the spam into 8x slices (~8 mm / slice)

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.

Notes

• To store wrap each masubi individually in plastic wrap

• To re-heat you can microwave for a bit and/or put the masubi in a pan, over low heat, and fry on all sides, crisping up the nori.

• The spam from a 12 oz can is 70 cm tall. x8 slices == 0.8 mm.

• Masubi maker is 8" L x 2" W x 2" H.
