BEST-EVER SPAM MUSUBI | Hawaiian family recipe for the iconic local-style snack!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Whether you're in Hawaii or on the mainland, my mom - who was born & raised in Honolulu - makes the BEST Homemade Spam Musubi, & this is her recipe.
In our opinion, there are 2 key secrets to making the best spam musubi:
1. Nail the ratio of spam & rice: These 2 components need the perfect balance, & we'll walk you through exactly what we do to create it.
2. Make an awesome spam musubi sauce: Mom’s is a simple teriyaki-style sauce made with a couple of pantry ingredients. When you pan-fry it with spam, it turns into a gloriously glossy & thick glaze.
While nothing beats a warm spam musubi on a beach in Hawaii, I think Mom’s spam musubi is the next best thing. I hope you love it as much as my family does! ♡

Yummy. 1/3 cup sugar. 3 tablespoons soy sauce. 2 tablespoon mirin. 1 tsp sesame oil. Thank you!!!!!!!❤
The way you look at your mama is so beautiful! were so lucky to have deep connections to our elders. It's a great day to be Indigenous!
Agreed! That look of Love, Pride, and Proud of her Mother touched my Heart to the Moon! That's the bestest meal any child could ever receive.
I'm. Not indigenous but your comment was very lovely
I love the subtle but super useful tips your Mom has for cooking musubi. She is expert level!
Completely agree! 🥰
I remember my dad made it slightly differently, by lightly toasting the nori on the oven burner(this was especially essential in Hawaii if the nori packing was already opened/used previously), then brushing one side of the toasted nori with a light coat of shoyu. Later with the influence of our Korean neighbors, he added a little sesame seed oil to the shoyu. Modern Hawaii, really is a mixing pot of so many different cuisines coming together.. So Ono!
Im not sure about adding the shoyu ( soy sauce).
The nori by itself is already salty, the furikake is also salty and don't tell me how much salt is on the spam.... And now you're gonna add shoyu on top of it??
Yikes!!
@@henrytenden HA! Like anyone who eats Spam, worries about Salt! What I did post is: "brushing one side of the toasted nori with a light coat of shoyu." A brushed light coat of anything is minimal. If you prefer to cut down on Salt, skip most Hawaiian style foods & let people who like this kind of thing, enjoy it. You aren't sure about this, because you didn't grow up eating like this. I did. I am sure that I'm going to die, just not today. Please live a long happy life any way you choose!
@@tilepusher
Hey man if high blood pressure and heart diseases is your thing and that somehow makes you "Hawaiian", then by all means go for it...!!
🤣🤣🤣
@@henrytenden HA! Thank you for your blessing. I am not made "Hawaiian" by what I eat, nor am I hiding behind claiming that I am Hawaiian. I go for everything, but thank you for advising me to live my life this way. I am not claiming to know you. It seems like you think you know me & are angry about it. I am so glad that you care enough about me, to give me free, unasked for advice. Chill man, it raises your blood pressure. There is no way that any food that has Spam in it is going to be healthy. The added Nitrites alone are insane. Yet, here we are, you trying to make a Spam Musubi, healthier? It's never going to be good for you. No one is ever going to save anyone's life by commenting on a snack/cooking video. To help you know more about me, so you can use that for your hate, I'm 97 years old, my heart & blood pressure is surprisingly great... so it's not my salt intake that is killing me... it's my smoking. I often think if adding MSG or Angel Dust would make my cigs taste better? I have so many things I need to quit to be healthier & eating unhealthy Spam Musubi's is so low on that list. You be you & I will wait for your hate. Peace Out.
@@tilepusher
You are really something else...
When I said adding more sodium is not good for you, your reply is that you didn't ask for my advice, that I didn't know what I was talking about, that I shouldn't make a comment about it because that's how the Hawaiian eat their food and I didn't grow up eating like that.
So I gave up and said do whatever you like then if that's your thing and now you said "I hate you" ......
So I guess, congratulations???
You've won no matter what..
🤷🤷🤣
Wife and I live in Japan, and sometimes we see this sold in convenience stores. We make our own version at home every Friday mornings, which we then eat at the nearby lake park for breakfast. Our version doesn't have sauce or furikake, but we use Kewpie mayo and tamago-yaki.
This recipe has become a staple in our house after our trip to Hawaii a couple years ago.
I love spam, my mom used to make it all the time growing up, and I love sushis, this is the best combo of both, never knew this was a thing until now and I cannot wait to try this out 😮😮❤
Seriously, the addition of sesame oil and mirin in the sauce is GENIUS! Thanks for the recipe. Delicious!
I live in Scandinavia so Hawaiian food is not that prevalent in the local restaurant scene apart from poke bowls. Luckily, I stumbled upon a recipe for spam musubi a few years ago and loved it. It's easy to make and tasty at the same time. Thanks for an awesome video that made me yearn for this dish again. I guess the algorithms did their job right this time around. Mahalo!
Oh, how I miss living in Hawaii!! Bringing back some good memories 🥰! Here on the mainland - no one really eats spam, lol. I didn't realize they have a mold; makes life easier. Thank you both for bringing a smile to my face and now will make for my son.
Your mom is so adorable and is a pro at explaining how to do it. I followed this recipe and it came out perfectly! My entire family loved it. Thank you for this video and send a big thank you to your mom for sharing! ❤❤❤
Ah, that warms my heart! Thank you for trying, & so, so happy to hear your entire family enjoyed. 💜
@@playswellwithbutter I can’t thank you and your mom enough. This will definitely be our go-to recipe and enjoyed many times. When I see how happy my family is when I make something for them that they love, I get excited to make it. This will be a regular plate at our house.
I still use this recipe every time I make musubi or a musubi bake. I’m making it as we speak and wanted to pop in and say hi. Everyone needs to try this recipe. I got musubi from a Poke place and it didn’t compare to this one. ❤❤❤
So adorable, and you two are so cute together. I love the way you watch her as she’s speaking; you may be an adult but she’s still your Mama ❤
I’ve been making spam musubi for over 30 years. It’s great to see new ways to make it. My mom, Japanese, would call the shiny side, the guest side.
I saw your video in the morning and bought all the things to make it etc. Except for the rice. Anyway I had trouble finding it. But eventually I found it. Thanks. For making this to show us how.
Mom is so utterly cute! I was smiling throughout the whole video. Plus, those musubi look delicious. I am going to try this recipe. Thanks!
Your mom is so good at explaining this step-by-step! Definitely trying it!
Hapa Power!!! My five kids and their spouses and ten grandkids (all hapas!!!) love Papa's famous Spam Musubis! It's always requested at all our Ohana gatherings! My family likes the spam in the middle, with a layer of rice on top and under the spam. Of course, "sprinkles" is mandatory. I make a dipping sauce with some Best Foods mayo, some of the teri sauce and some siracha-it's feaking ono!!!
Thank you so much! Really love how you and your mom made this.
My cousin used the knuckle method to make rice, I use what my mother taught me, (she was a great cook, the best cook of all my relatives including my cousins mom), which is one for one, (wash the rice until the water is clear, then one cup of rice and one cup of water, in high altitude you need a little more water). When I asked my mother about making rice using the knuckle method her reply was All Knuckles are Different!
Ha ha ha.. that's true!!!
I can’t wait to try this recipe.
omg!! Your mom is adorable! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Wow!! Beautiful looks so delicious! Thank you
I just discovered your channel, and this is my first video I saw.
The way you looked at your Mom as she was preparing this was so precious. I am a new sub now, and can’t wait to see more videos.
Thank you ❤
You two are adorable! Thank you for sharing this recipe ❤
10/10 recipe, perfect snack!
Love your mom!!!!❤
Thank you! I will be trying this.

Including your mom in this video is so heart warming… I can tell by the way you look at her while she’s preparing the ingredients that you are very close to her….Life Is Good! 🙏🏻😎
She's my favorite! 💜 Thanks for the sweet message.
Thank you for the best recipe. I was taught this version while stationed in Hawaii. Aloha

1 of my favorite memories of the Islands!
The love that you have in your eyes, and the excitement in your face was so beautiful that was almost the most amazing part of the video. A friend I know sent me this recipe because he went to Hawaii and really liked this. Thank you for sharing the love that you have for this food and for your mom I’m definitely going to make it. Aloha.
Wow 🎉 this looks awesome! I just tried one of these for the first time and I’m in love 😍 Great video!

The Musubi video the people have been waiting for! Thanks for this
Thank you! I loved the tip about scooping the rice from the top, and not squishing the rice in the mould!
I love this video it reminds me of times I cooked with my mom. So happy I found your channel
Now I want musubi!

We just made this, it was wonderful
That was very well done, thank you for sharing ❤
our pleasure! hope you can try soon!
Thank you so much for sharing sister and Mahalo
I like that sauce. Gonna have to try it out.
I've made spam musubi before, but this is by far the best recipe! I use low sodium spam and with this recipe, I get the perfect combination of savory sweet umami goodness! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you! Just moved to the mainland and missing our family favorite musubi. Your mom’s looks ono! Trying this today 🥰
Your mom is so articulate!
Yum, Love musubi !
Ahhh love that this is one of the first recipes on your channel! And I'm OBSESSED with that same brand of rice. That's exactly what we buy and cook at home too!
it's really the best! I remember buying regular grocery store rice when I first moved to college (this was in the early 2000s) & couldn't believe the difference in flavor & texture. now kokuho rose is the only brand I buy!
I just made these for my grown grandkids and they absolutely loved them!!! they said they taste just like the ones they ate when they were in Hawaii. Thank you, so much!!!
Made musubi before from other UA-camrs recipes and my family eats it up, but this is one I have to make. Your mom’s ingredients to sauté the spam looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more videos!
All musubi is tasty whether it's yoshida sauce, or homemade. It's all good.
Thanks for sharing, I work in a restaurant and made some for my fellow Line Cooks. They were honest about their opinion of it. They want more!
spam. Oh my. My husband will love this!
Mahalo! Thank you for sharing your recipe, my husband loves this, I think I will surprise him and make it soon.
Thank you for this. I love Japanese food but it’s good to see some Hawaiian things to put in a bento.
Just discovered your channel, had no idea this would be Hawaiian traditional foods. So excited. Been missing my MIL cooking since moving from San Francisco. Every weekend the families would get together for heart warming feasts. I try my best to copy how she made, of course we never used recipes, I’ll never get it as good as her and our Hawaiian family, but tastes so good. I am looking for a homemade pastilles, like Mamas Pastilles in Honolulu, been 20 years, so far the few restaurants I’ve found do not come close to sitting in the kitchen or backyard with all the sisters, making hundreds for us all to take home. 😆 looking forward to checking out this channel. Brings back the memories of Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, Chinese flavor. Oka Noi
When I lived in Hawaii, I had my regular day job and I also worked at Ala Moana shopping center at Mont Blanc. There was a place downstairs near the food court that had the most amazing Spam Musubi. They were perfect
By far the best video! Mahalo!
🤙🏼🌺
I love that you guys give a lot of consideration to the SPAM to Rice ratio. I agree 6 or 8 slices matter. I usually do 8 but lower the rice quantity. Of course that makes a bit thinner Musubi but I find that okay.
You guys are so cute~! Thank you for sharing your delicious family recipe!
You were looking at your Mom as if you were living in the moment and just enjoying it. You know you can never get back to that place in time. Much aloha and I am going to enjoy making this now that I know the secret recipe for the sauce. Mahalo
