Step-by-Step Instructions for Best-Ever Spam Musubi
- Rinse 2 cups of Calrose rice under hot water until water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions. Let steam for 10 minutes after cooking.
- Whisk together 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil until smooth. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until sugar dissolves.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Slice Spam into 8 pieces, then cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drizzle teriyaki sauce over Spam and caramelize for 1 minute.
- Lay a sheet of sushi nori shiny side down. Position the musubi mold on the nori to shape the Spam Musubi.
- Scoop sticky rice into the mold halfway, pack it down, sprinkle with furikake, and place 2-3 slices of Spam on top.
- Press the lid down gently to form the musubi. Wrap nori around and seal edges with water.
- Repeat with remaining rice and Spam adjusting quantities as needed.
- Slice each musubi in half with a warm knife to showcase layers and serve immediately or pack for later.
