- 1 cup Rice uncooked
- 2 cups Water
- 6 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce, Coconut Aminos, or Liquid Aminos
- 1/4 cup Oyster Sauce
- 2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
- 1/2 cup Sugar white
- 12 oz SPAM, Low Sodium
- 8 large Eggs
- 6 sheets Nori
- Sesame seeds optional
Rice Preparation
Add water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook 18 minutes (until water is absorbed).
Once rice is cooked, add rice vinegar to pot and gently stir to incorporate.
Egg Preparation
Crack eggs into a small bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Beat with a fork until combined.
Spray 1/4 sized baking sheet (or 9" x 13" baking dish) with cooking spray and pour in eggs.
Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Cut into 12 slices (see photo in post above).
SPAM Preparation
Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce and sugar in a small bowl.
Open SPAM and carefully run a knife around the edge of the can to loosen the SPAM from the can. As evenly as possible, cut SPAM into 12 slices (see photos in post above).
Lay SPAM on a separate 1/4 sized baking sheet (or another 9" x 13" pan or Ziplock baggie). Pour sauce prepared above over SPAM and let marinate for 15 minutes, flipping SPAM half way through marinating.
Cook SPAM for 15 minutes in the same 400 degree oven until SPAM is warmed through.*
Assembly
On a cutting board with a sharp knife, split the 6 nori sheets in half.
With a spoon, divide the rice into 12 portions.
Wet hands with water, and mold rice in hands to approximate shape and as the SPAM.
Place formed rice on middle of nori sheet.
Drizzle spoonful (~1-2 tablespoons) of sauce, from cooked SPAM, onto rice. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of rice.
Place 1/12 portion/slice of SPAM onto rice.
Add an egg slice on top of SPAM.
Wet edges of nori with a finger and fold the ends inward.
Wrap completed SPAM Musubi Roll in plastic wrap.
Repeat assembly steps above to complete remaining 12 rolls.
For the best flavor, let SPAM Musubi Rolls sit for at least 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and for nori to soften.
