ChefXi OfficialA savory-sweet comfort classic featuring thick-cut grilled Spam glazed in a soy-ginger reduction, wrapped in seasoned sushi rice and crisp nori.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, and mirin until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly into a glossy glaze.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, fry the Spam slices until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides.
Pour the prepared glaze over the Spam in the skillet, flipping the slices to ensure they are thoroughly coated and the sauce has caramelized onto the meat. Remove from heat.
Don't let the sugar burn; keep the slices moving!
Place a Musubi mold (or the cleaned Spam can with the bottom cut out) over a strip of nori. Press about 1/3 cup of warm seasoned rice into the bottom of the mold.
Sprinkle a pinch of furikake over the rice, place a glazed Spam slice on top, and press down firmly with the mold plunger. Remove the mold and wrap the nori strip tightly around the middle, sealing the edge with a drop of water.
