How to Make Spam Musubi

Whaaaa? I've never had it with furikake added, seems unnecessary?Soy Sauce and Sugar.. is a kind of teriyaki sauce... hey have you tried making teriyaki with brown sugar instead of white?? I LOVE IT. But hey, Using a press is soooooo cheating. Come on kids, do it by hand like the pros. (could you imagine a sushi chef trying to show off using a press??)

Bigany... you're gonna die earlier than most just from stressing out about what you eat. You don't eat Spam Musubi everyday, you just eat it once in a while. Haven't you ever heard the 80/20 rule? eat healthy stuff 80% of the time, you can at 20% CRAP and still be as healthy. You'll be much happier too!!

Can you really re-crispify nori in a pan???

Funny... i totally made Spam Musubi Fried Rice by accident! I wanted to see if anyone else has done that

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!

@Bigany - I take it you've not tried a Spam musubi done the right way in the right setting; coming right out of the ocean, after being out for serveral hours swimming/snorkeling/surfing, and reaching for a Spam musubi. It's a quick, simple snack that's not messy and can be carried around/left anywhere. The only rubbish is the tiny scrunched up plastic wrap. No plates or utensils. =)

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.

My musubi press just arrived! Sigh. I'm crazed this week, but am totally doing up a musubi 'do this weekend. I will give it to people and not tell them what the meat product is. Because yeah @Cassaendra, people just don't get it. And they won't even try the stuff because it's (yech) spam (double yech). I actually sent this article to a couple of friends, hoping the very most lovely pictures would hold sway, but nada. Zero bites. Luckily, I have one friend, hapa haole, who loves the stuff. We make fun of non-believers often.
