Irresistible Spam Inari Sushi Kids Will Love!
Are you tired of the same old inari sushi? My children used to dislike them too! But after adding just two special ingredients – flavorful Spam and fragrant sesame oil – they now absolutely devour them! This recipe is a simple way to make delicious inari sushi at home that even picky eaters will enjoy. Let’s create a delightful meal with this easy Spam Inari Sushi.
Key Ingredients- 1 packet Inari sushi kit (for 3 servings)
- 100g Spam
- 3 bowls of cooked rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 100g of Spam. (Tip: I used a Spam product made with domestic pork. Feel free to use your preferred brand.) Slice the Spam into approximately 0.5cm thick pieces, then dice them into small cubes of about 0.5cm. This size mixes well with the rice.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced Spam without any oil and cook until it turns golden brown. This process will bring out its savory flavor. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Step 3
Now, let’s get ready to make the inari sushi! Open the Inari sushi kit and take out all the components. Typically, it includes fried tofu pouches, sushi vinegar seasoning, and vegetable flakes.
Step 4
Prepare 3 bowls of freshly cooked, warm rice. (Tip: Using freshly steamed rice makes for fluffier and tastier inari sushi.) Gently drain the excess liquid from the fried tofu pouches by placing them in a sieve and lightly pressing them with your hands. Be careful not to squeeze too hard, as the tofu may tear.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the warm rice, the vegetable flakes and sushi vinegar seasoning from the kit. Add the golden-brown cooked Spam. You can also add 1-2 tablespoons of the flavorful liquid that drained from the tofu pouches for an extra umami boost.
Step 6
Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma. The fragrant sesame oil will enhance the savory taste of the Spam and the sweet-sour profile of the inari sushi.
Step 7
Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix all the ingredients together until the rice is well combined. It’s important to mix gently to avoid mashing the rice grains. Once the rice mixture is ready, carefully stuff it into the prepared tofu pouches. Your delicious Spam Inari Sushi is now complete!
