OK, I just made a bunch of these for a little Halloween party, mixing the Furikake into the rice as suggested here. It was a hit! I filled the mold up with ingredients, the product was like a sandwich to look at, with seasoned rice on each side of the SPAM, and also a slice of omelette. I guess this is about as far as I have gone so far. They were kind of big and filling, everyone agreed that one was kind of a meal. There was some friendly competition for the leftover ones. I ate two the next day that just sat out on the counter overnight and they were still pretty good! Now I'm thinking that this can happen any time I run the rice cooker, forever. There will be a meal ready for later!
Great, detailed vid. Thank you! I was first introduced to Spam Musubi at a local Hawaiian restaurant. The Spam there doesn’t look fried. It’s very juicy and I don’t find it salty at all. I was pleasantly surprised and have ordered it several times now. I’ve seen other recipes where they suggest boiling the spam in seasoned water. Perhaps boiling removes some salt? Frying seems more traditional. I’ll try anything twice! “And may the odds be ever in your favor!”
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
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.
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 😉
I would say a couple hours at the most if you're planning on leaving it out. Anything more than that I would put in the fridge. And make sure to wrap it with plastic or put it in an airtight container.
Why am I always watching these videos when I'm starving to death and it's 2:30 AM?! Very delicious directions, thank you!
Haha, spam musubis can be a great late night snack 😉
Omg. Im trying this tomorrow. Great video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video, and let me know how it goes!
Just tried it. Turned out alright! The kids are happy!
As long as the kids are happy, that's a win!
@TheSushiMan amen! 👍😃❤️
Our kids in my family love these, I think it must be the square shape that intrigues them too
Yes, it's always a hit with kids, even if it's their first time trying it!

Omg those little mini musubi's would be so cute and great to bring to a potluck 🤩
Yes, I make them for potlucks pretty often, especially for kids!

Thanks ang glad you enjoyed the video! I haven't tried boiling Spam for musubis before, only in soups, but let me know how it is if you give it a try!
Thank you for you recipe
No problem, hope you enjoy it!

Spam with sushi rice is good, I'll admit👍And the fried rice version sounds amazing, thanks for the suggestion!
I notice there are several kinds of miso sold on Amazon. Are you using the rd miso paste? Thank you for such great tutorials.

I love that kids version 😊
Aren't they cute 😄
can you share with us Where did you learn these techniques, mr. Sushi man ?

How far ahead can you make the mini’s?

Can I add a bit of sesame oil to the rice. :)
I'm sure you can. But too much would probably make the rice fall apart. Give it a try and see! 😉
Okay but where can I get those chopsticks.
Spam musubi is made with short grain sticky rice isn’t it? You just don’t add vinegar
Correct, Japanese short grain rice is usually what we use and there's no need to add sushi vinegar.
Reported for SPAM
😆
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
If I use fried sliced hotdog, I use the sauce
Also, I slice mine in half for the kiddies, pupu size!
Nice, thanks for sharing!
