Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin, gather all your ingredients: sushi nori, Spam, eggs, and cheese. Slice the Spam into pieces that will fit your musubi mold or desired shape.
Step 2
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Fry the Spam slices until golden brown and slightly crispy. In the same pan, whisk the eggs and cook them into a thin omelet. Cut the omelet into pieces that match the size of your Spam slices for a neat presentation.
Step 3
Line your musubi mold or a rectangular container with a sheet of sushi nori. Next, press a layer of warm cooked rice into the mold, about 1 cm thick. Ensure it’s evenly distributed. Avoid pressing too hard, or the rice can become dense.
Step 4
Now it’s time to layer your prepared ingredients on top of the rice. While the order isn’t strictly critical, layering them evenly will help maintain the musubi’s structure.
Step 5
A popular layering order is to place the cooked egg omelet first, followed by the Spam slices. Feel free to adjust this based on your preference or add other ingredients.
Step 6
Finish by topping off the layers with another portion of rice, filling any remaining space in the mold. Pressing the warm rice helps all the layers adhere together.
Step 7
Place the lid on the musubi mold or gently press down on the top layer of rice with your hands to compact the ingredients firmly. Using a musubi mold makes shaping much easier.
Step 8
Cut a sheet of sushi nori in half lengthwise to fit the length of your musubi. Place the shaped musubi onto the nori strip and carefully roll it up. You can dampen the edge of the nori with a grain of rice or a little water to help it seal.
Step 9
Slice the rolled Spam musubi into individual portions. To prevent the rice from sticking to the knife, lightly coat the blade with sesame oil for clean cuts. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Spam Musubi with ramen!
