🍣 ABOUT THE SUSHI MAN:
Jun Nakajima, CHEF AND FOUNDER
Raised in a restaurant household, Jun's love for food began at a very early age. His parents have owned and operated a Japanese restaurant for over 30 years where he practiced and honed his culinary skills.
Somewhat forced upon, he was taught the art of sushi making in his teenage years. He quickly fell in love not only with the art but the endless opportunities that came with it.
He has traveled around the globe to try different styles of sushi, most importantly to Japan.
After college, Jun had taken an opportunity to live in the motherland of sushi, working for something completely outside the culinary field. In those two years his appreciation of the culture, people, history and food deepened.
He became addicted to the food scene and found himself traveling from one end of the island to the other, eating and drinking some of the best foods and drinks he's ever had. This experience became the seed which eventually bloomed to become The Sushi Man.

Omg those little mini musubi's would be so cute and great to bring to a potluck 🤩

[@TheSushiMan]

Yes, I make them for potlucks pretty often, especially for kids!

[@outdoorloser4340]

I love that kids version 😊

[@TheSushiMan]

Aren't they cute 😄

[@TY-un9os]

Omg. Im trying this tomorrow. Great video. Thank you

[@TheSushiMan]

Glad you enjoyed the video, and let me know how it goes!

[@feltpuppets9429]

Thanks for the great tutorial, your instructions are very easy to follow.

[@TheSushiMan]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video!

[@user-gk9ut9qc1o]

Our kids in my family love these, I think it must be the square shape that intrigues them too

[@TheSushiMan]

Yes, it's always a hit with kids, even if it's their first time trying it!

[@Ong968]

I notice there are several kinds of miso sold on Amazon. Are you using the rd miso paste? Thank you for such great tutorials.

[@TheSushiMan]

I like to use awase miso, which is a combination of red and white but you can use either one for this recipe. Red has a more bold flavor while white is milder.

[@EvilsBane427]

it isn't supposed to be sushi rice, but using sushi rice adds a ton of flavor! I can't eat the 711 spam musubi anymore because it tastes so much better with sushi rice. Also a spam musubi with spam fried rice with a slice of fried spam is amazing too

[@TheSushiMan]

Spam with sushi rice is good, I'll admit👍And the fried rice version sounds amazing, thanks for the suggestion!

[@TheMercenaryKid]

can you share with us Where did you learn these techniques, mr. Sushi man ?

[@TheSushiMan]

Hey, long story short, I started working at my parent's Japanese restaurant at an early age and learned how to make sushi from my dad there. And then just kept learning and teaching myself new things throughout the years. Nowadays, you can practically learn anything on UA-cam though, hence my channel 😉

[@fuzzyx2face]

Spam musubi is made with short grain sticky rice isn’t it? You just don’t add vinegar

[@TheSushiMan]

Correct, Japanese short grain rice is usually what we use and there's no need to add sushi vinegar.

[@OuryLN]

I prefer medium well done fried spam, 9, 11, to 13 per can. No sauce. Because I use the regular Spam, no sauce is required

[@OuryLN]

If I use fried sliced hotdog, I use the sauce

[@OuryLN]

Also, I slice mine in half for the kiddies, pupu size!

[@TheSushiMan]

Nice, thanks for sharing!
