This is not the first time i've made this recipe.
Just made some tonite for my lunch tomorrow and for 5 other people at work who wants it as well. With Kathy's musubi recipe, i added kimchee to mines...MMmmmMMMmMmm Ono-licious!

Here's something i like to add: sometimes when i'm just to lazy to make a meal, i like to prepare my spam like this:
-Slice spam
-lightly coat each single spam with white sugar
-heat pan (medium high) with a tspn of olive oil
-while waiting for oil to heat, set a side a plate with rice (pat down the rice as to make it even on your plate)
-fry spam until sugar carmalize to a dark brown or until your kitchen is filled with smoke (j/k)
-place spam over your rice (while your spam cools, the edge will crisp.
-kimchee on the side and START GRINDING! Hope you like it!!

*Making me hungry now*

We made this recipe exactly like this and added thinly sliced avocado along with some egg omlet cut to size and added some crushed chile........they were a hit.

Made it tonight! It was delicious, I made them with Kewpie and it was great! I did the rice layer, than did kewpie and than a layer of furikake. The Kewpie made it less salty.. especially if you just use regular ol' Spam!

oh man, how did i miss this post earlier? i tried the spam musubi from a 7-11 once and it hit the spot. awesome post kathy!

no matter how you slice it, what you cook it in, how you flavor it and what you wrap it in, spam is still basically spam: and although it maybe be tasty it's still garbage food. it's high fat, high salt , well let's take a look:
# Ingredients:

* Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added.
* Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness)
* Water (to help in mixing)
* Sugar (for flavour)
* Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative)

# Nutrition Information For SPAM (original style):

* Calories Per Serving: 170
* Calories Per Serving From Fat: 140
* Serving Size: 2 oz.
* Servings Per Container: 6 (large) or 3.5 (small)
* Total Fat: 16g
* Saturated Fat: 6g
* Cholesterol: 40mg
* Sodium: 750mg
* Total Carbohydrates: 0g
* Fiber: 0g
* Sugars: 0g
* Proteins: 7g
* Vitamin A: 0%
* Vitamin C: 0%
* Calcium: 0%
* Iron: 2%

so a large can of spam has 1100+ caleries, tons of salt, saturated fat and not much that's 'good' for you. it's 30 cal of protein and 140 cal of fat. Eat a steak it you want meat or ham or almost anything but enough of this stuff will make your arteries look like a clogged drain pipe.

I made Spam Musubi for my boyfriend this morning. I think he might love me more than he did before-- which is saying a lot! Thanks for the inspiration SE!

love the tower musubi shot!

Mmm! Made some a few days ago. Always a great snack and not messy at all! It's funny that you mention 7-11 having it because I explained the exact thing to someone over lunch a week ago. I'll need to point people here so they can see that Spam musubi aren't just slices of Spam straight from a can on rice (as much as I explain that it isn't so...).

I noticed that the same people who say "Eww" when I talk about Spam at work are the same people who have not tried it...the same people who don't think twice about eating blood sausage, bologna, or hot dogs.

We actually have a chef out here who is from Hawaii who sells kalua pig on the weekends at his restaurant 5 minutes from where I live, so even though we're over 4000 miles away from home, there's a sliver of home here. He caters events and makes laulau, lomi lomi salmon, etc.

OMG, thank you thank you thank you! My spam musubi-obsessed friend and I have been trying to figure out the sauce spam is fried in! I guess we'll be fiddling around a bit with Kathy's recipe and lorelei76's comments. :D

I'm a NYer living in Barcelona- I was this afternoon doing my regular grocery shopping at the Boqueria and guess who was there filming his new PBS TV special: Mario Batali (oh, yeh- Michael Stipe from REM and a famous Spanish actress were also in tow) Being a huge Mario fan, it was great to see him enjoying Barcelona- we chatted a bit about eating in the city.....
