Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 pound spam sliced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 4 sheets of nori seaweed

Equipment

  • Sushi mat or plastic wrap
  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover, cooking for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes, covered. Then, fold in the vinegar mixture gently.
  5. In a skillet, cook the sliced spam over medium heat until it’s golden brown on both sides. Add teriyaki sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Lay out a sushi mat or a sheet of plastic wrap. Place a sheet of nori on top and spread a portion of rice over it.
  7. Place a slice of the teriyaki spam on the rice and press down gently.
  8. Carefully roll the sushi mat away from you, tucking the nori tightly around the filling.

Musubi is versatile and can be served with pickled vegetables or miso soup for a delightful meal.
