Ingredients


2 Cups cooked white rice, warmed
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
4 large eggs, beaten

Spam musubi is a very popular snack in Polynesian culture such as Hawaii. It made in the traditional Japanese lunch style called (o)musubi.


Directions


Toss the rice with the vinegar. Set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the beaten egg into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom. Pull the cooked eggs from the edge toward the center, swirling, and cook until set. It takes only about 30 seconds. Slide onto a plate, flip back into the pan and cook for another 10 seconds. Transfer to a work surface. Cut into inch-wide strips.

Split the Spam horizontally into 6 pieces. Keep the can.

Add the Spam to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.

Whisk together the sugar, oyster sauce and soy sauce.

Pour over the Spam and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the Spam to a work surface.

Brush some of the remaining glaze over the nori (seaweed).

Arrange a bowl of water and the rice near the work surface.

Line the reserved Spam can with plastic wrap. Press 1/3 cup rice into the can and layer with an egg strip and a slice of Spam.

Lift the filling out of the can and place crosswise in the center of a sheet of nori. Fold the ends over, dampening the edges to seal.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve whole or sliced crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces.
