Spam Egg Musubi

about spam egg musubi!

Spam egg musubi is a popular dish in Hawaiian cuisine, and can be found in restaurants across the United States. The dish is a riff on Japanese musubi, which is a type of sushi made from rice, seaweed, and various fillings.

At its most basic, spam egg musubi consists of a block of rice topped with a slice of grilled Spam (a canned, precooked meat product) and a sunny-side-up egg. The whole thing is then wrapped in nori (seaweed) to hold it together.

Here's a step-by-step guide to making spam egg musubi:

1. Cook short-grain rice according to package instructions, then let it cool slightly.

2. Cut a slice of Spam from the can and fry it in a pan until it's crispy on both sides.

3. Fry a sunny-side-up egg in the same pan, seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Lay out a sheet of nori and place a scoop of rice in the center. Use a musubi press or a measuring cup to shape the rice into a neat rectangle.

5. Place the grilled Spam on top of the rice, followed by the sunny-side-up egg.

6. Wrap the whole thing in nori, using a little water to seal the edge if necessary.

7. Serve immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for later.

Spam egg musubi can be customized to your liking - feel free to add condiments like soy sauce, sriracha, or furikake (a Japanese seasoning blend) to the rice or spam. Some versions of the dish also include a slice of American cheese, or use teriyaki-glazed spam instead of plain. However you make it, spam egg musubi is a tasty and satisfying snack or meal.
