Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp Furikake
  • 2 Cups Uncooked Rice
  • 6 Sheets of Nori
  • 1 Can Spam
  • 1/2 Cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Cook the rice per the instructions or you can refer to our post here
  • Combine the cooked rice and Furikake in a medium sized bowl until fully mixed.
  • Remove the spam from the can and cut into wide strips.
  • In the frying pan on medium heat, cook the spam for about 2 min on each side to lightly brown both sides. You don’t want to overcook it as it may result in a more tough/hard to chew piece.
  • Once the spam has browned, remove it from the pan and place on a plate to cool.
  • When the spam has cooled a bit, cut them into smaller slices to create strips.
  • Get your 6 pieces of Nori and cut into quarters (4 equal smaller sized sheets).
  • Grab a small bowl and put 1 cup of water.

Assemble:

  • Grab one square of nori and lay it flat in front of you.
  • Scoop out about 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup of rice (with a spoon or paddle) and spread it evenly on half of the nori sheet. (the amount of rice could vary based on how big you cut the nori.)
  • Place 2-3 strips of spam in the center of the rice.
  • Now roll one end to other taking one side of the nori that has the rice and roll it to the other, keeping the spam and rice together.
  • To seal the roll: before you get to the end, wet your finger in the water bowl and moisten the inside of the nori on the free edge (no rice). Once wet, finish rolling the remaining length and now you have a simple spam masubi roll.
  • Repeat the assembly instructions until all the ingredients are used up. This creates about 24 rolls.
