SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Soak uncooked rice for 4 hours; drain and rinse.
• In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar, and set aside to cool.
• In a separate bowl, stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Slice luncheon meat lengthwise into 10 slices, or to desired thickness, and marinate in sauce for 5 minutes.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Cook slices for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Cut nori sheets in half and lay on a flat work surface. Place a rice press in the center of the sheet, and press rice tightly inside. Top with a slice of luncheon meat, and remove press. Wrap nori around rice mold, sealing edges with a small amount of water. (Rice may also be formed by hand in the shape of the meat slices, 1 inch thick.) Musubi may be served warm or chilled.

SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, sugar and mirin (if using). Set aside.
• Lightly coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and heat over medium. Fry the Spam slices until evenly browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Turn off the heat. Working quickly to avoid burning, add the soy mixture and turn the Spam slices until evenly coated in glaze. Immediately transfer the Spam slices and glaze to a plate.
• To mold the musubi, start by placing a strip of nori, rough side up, on a cutting board or clean work surface. Place a Spam musubi maker mold over it, in the middle, then place a slice of Spam into the mold. (If you don't have a mold, you can line a clean Spam can with plastic wrap instead, and place a slice of Spam at the bottom.) Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon furikake over the Spam, then fill the mold or can with a generous mound of rice. Press the rice firmly with the musubi maker press or with your hands until it is 3/4- to 1-inch thick, adding more rice as needed.
• Use the press to hold the rice down with one hand and pull the mold upward to unmold the musubi with your other hand. (If you're using the Spam can, gently lift the Spam and rice out of the can by gently pulling on both sides of the plastic wrap.) Wrap the nori around the Spam-rice stack, bringing both ends of the strip to the middle, folding one over the other, and flipping it over so the seam is down and the Spam is facing up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately or wrap with plastic wrap to take with you on the go.

NICKEY'S SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Cook rice as you normally would. When the rice cooker ?finishes? cooking, fluff the rice with a rice paddle. Replace cover and allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
• Put some water in a small bowl to use as a sealer for the nori wrapper. Set aside.
• Cut nori in half; lengthwise or widthwise -- whichever will wrap it around the musubi. You can also make them in narrow strips (like in the picture); a lot of nori come perforated now for easy separation. Place in a resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
• Cut Spam into 8 slices. Each should be about 2" x 3-1/2" x 1/4" (size/shape of the top end, cut 1/4" thick.).
• In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, fry slices until lightly browned and slightly crispy. Place on a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside. (You shouldn't need oil.).
• Combine the soy sauce, mirin and sugar in a saucepan; bring to a slow boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; add the spam, turning to coat. Simmer until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes; remove pan from heat. Let Spam slices sit in marinade until ready to use.
• Instructions below are for 1 musubi. Repeat with the other 7 Spam slices, making sure to rinse off musubi maker after each use to prevent if from getting too sticky -- keeping in a bowl of warm water will help to keep it clean and moist.
• MUSUBI 1. Place a piece of nori on a clean surface. Moisten (but not dripping wet) lower half of musubi maker and position on top of the nori so the length of the press is in the middle of the nori (widthwise). The press and the width of the nori should fit exactly the length of a slice of Spam. Fill the musubi maker with 1/2 cup of the rice, press rice until 3/4-inch high. Top with 1 slice of Spam. Remove the musubi from the press by pushing the whole stack down (with the flat part of the press) while lifting off the press. Fold nori end closest to you over the Spam and rice stack; roll until completely wrapped in the nori. Slightly dampen the end of the nori to seal it. Repeat with remaining Spam slices.
• MUSUBI 2. Spread approximately 1/4 cup cooked rice across the bottom of the musubi maker, on top of the nori. Press rice down to compact the rice until it is 1/4-inch thick. Place a slice of Spam on top of the rice. Cover with an additional 1/4 cup cooked rice; press until 1/4-inch thick. Remove the musubi from the press by pushing the whole stack down (with the flat part of the press) while lifting off the press. Fold nori end closest to you over Spam and rice stack; roll until completely wrapped in the nori. Slightly dampen the end of the nori to seal it. Repeat with remaining Spam slices.
• OTHER IDEAS: 1. Sprinkle rice with furikake, mixed in with the rice or sprinkled on before placing Spam on rice. 2. Add a thin layer of scrambled egg (place under the Spam. 3. Add furukake and the scrambled egg. 3. Slice each musubi in half diagonally after making; 4. Musubi #1 without the sauce; 5. You can also use hotdog (sliced to flatten, not completely through), leftover chicken, etc. There is no wrong way to make a musubi. All that matters is that you enjoy it!
• SOME NOTES I PICKED UP OVER THE INTERNET:.
• NOTE1: Only use medium-grain 'sticky' rice such as Calrose Diamond G brand.
• NOTE2: 1 rice cooker cup = 180 ml (1 regular cup = 240 ml) 3 rice cooker cups of uncooked rice should give you the 5 cups of rice you will need for this.
• NOTE3. the NORI sheets (thin roasted seaweed). As a general rule of thumb ? good Nori is very dark green, almost black in color.
• NOTE4. Spam musubi are best eaten while still warm but if you have to refrigerate your musubi, wrap each in plastic wrap or press n' seal and refrigerate. Just pop it into the microwave for about 10 seconds or so to soften the rice.

TERIYAKI SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Wash rice in a colander to remove talc and any stones. Place in a rice cooker with 3 cups water and cook, Wait 15 minutes after rice has cooked before opening lid.
• If you do not have a rice cooker. Put washed rice into a medium sized saucepan with a lid. Add water. Turn heat on medium high; when the rice starts to boil reduce heat to so that rice is just simmering. Allow rice to cook until all of the water has boiled off (about 15-20 minutes).
• You may have to position the lid to allow the steam to escape. Taste the rice if it is still hard add a tablespoon more water and cook until the rice tastes done. If the rice is done, but is very wet, remove the lid and let the water evaporate. Remove from heat when done. The grains of rice should stick to each other, without being soggy.
• While rice is cooking, cut spam into ten slices.
• Combine soy sauce and sugar.
• Heat 12 inch skillet; add soy mixture and saute spam slices over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until most of the soy mixture has evaporated.
• Remove from skillet and cool.
• Cut each nori (seaweed laver) in half. The laver can be folded in half and torn along the seam.
• Rub vegetable oil on inside of the musubi maker and the press. (or oil the inside of the spam can) This will make it easier to unmold.
• Place one half sheet of laver on a flat surface and place the musubi maker (or spam can) on the laver.
• Fill the spam musubi maker evenly with about 1 inch of hot rice. (If you do not have one, you can use the spam can. Cut off the other end of the can. tape the sharp edges. Cut a piece of a stiff plastic mat to just fit inside the spam can.)
• Place one slice of cooked spam on top of the rice.
• With the spam press (plastic), press down evenly on the spam slice.
• Slide the musubi maker (spam can) up while pushing the press down to unmold the musubi.
• Wrap one end of the laver over the spam and repeat with the other side. Gently move to a flat surface to cool.
• Spam musubi can be frozen, thawed and reheated in a microwave.
• You could also add kim chee, pickle, or a slice of egg omelet under the spam.
• Cooked chicken breast (flattened), hot dog, sausage, or fish fillet can be substituted for the spam.
• The spam can be "sandwiched" between two layers of rice instead of being on top. The rice tends to slide off, but will be held in place by the laver.

• Bring up one side of the nori and fold around the rice. Seal the sheets with a little water, by dipping your finger in the 1/4 cup of water and then rub the edge of the nori sheet. Fold up the other half of the sheet and press firmly to the wet edge to bond the sides together.
• Repeat with remaining rice, placing the finished musubi seam side down on a plate.
• Notes:.
• A little oil on the rice press will keep the rice from sticking.
• You can slice each roll in half for smaller size party food.
