My First Attempt At Spam Musubi, And It Won’t Be My Last
Posted on 5/6/23 at 11:23 am

I made a pot of rice with rice vinegar and salt. I then made a simple glaze with toasted sesame oil and soy sauce.
After the rice was cooked, I spread it out and allowed it to cool.
I then sliced bacon flavored spam and fried it. When I got a good color on both sides, I glazed it with the oil/soy mixture. I then took them out and allowed them to cool a little while I prepped the nori.
I bought a Musubi making kit and used it to make the rice Pattie’s and once they were made, I sprinkled furikake on them with a little more of the soy/oil mixture dropped on it. I then applied the spam and wrapped them in the nori.
This will be a part of my families regular dinner rotation. It was a flavor bomb and I can’t wait to try it with other flavors of spam and rice!

That’s very interesting. Will ponder.
ETA: I’ve never heard of this before in my life but apparently is very popular.

Need to find some of these rice seasonings, they’re really good. With the Nori one you could make this recipe a bowl if you were out of wraps.

That is the one I used!
I had to order it on Amazon because we don’t have any Japanese markers around Cenla lol.

The real question is, how do I keep the nori from becoming rubbery? Is there a trick to it or is it inevitable?

I have no idea. There’s a silica pouch in those seasonings to keep it fresh.
Togarashi is damn good sprinkled in as well.

Work fast, moisture and time are the enemy.

If you’re in or about Baton Rouge, The Cove Hawaiian Grill sells it. Bit of a salt bomb, but it’s pretty damned good.

I still have a snapshot in my head of
when I was in Kyoto and seeing a furikaki vendor at the market with dozens of different blends. I genuinely don’t know why it hasn’t caught on more in the US.

How/when do you use it? I’m pretty savvy with making sushi rice.
Posted on 5/6/23 at 11:11 pm to Havoc
I mean, use it how you want to
Obviously it goes very well with many rice based Asian dishes, whether it's sticky rice or sushi rice, or as a topping on a stir fry or bulgogi

My primary use is to sprinkle it on white rice when I serve it next to a protein without a sauce, like grilled salmon, etc. But it’s fairly versatile, especially depending on the blend.

As soon as I saw the thread title, I came to recommend these.

Meant like when you should add it to the rice. I’d guess it’s after cooking when folding in the rice vinegar/mirin mix but it could also be when cooking along with the kombu.
