Efficient Spam Musubi
Ingredients
- 2 Spam, cans
- 1/2 cup Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, or as needed, for glazing
- 6 cups cooked rice, enough to fill a 10 by 13 baking pan
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, or as needed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, or as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or as needed
- 1/4 cup furikake, green seasoning, or as needed
- 9 nori sheets, cut into 2-inch wide strips
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven broiler to high. Slice the 2 cans of Spam into 18 rectangular pieces (9 slices per can). Arrange all 18 Spam slices in a single layer on a 13 by 18 inch baking pan.

Pour Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce generously over the Spam slices, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Place the baking pan with the glazed Spam under the preheated broiler. Broil uncovered for 4 minutes, or until the Spam is caramelized and slightly crispy. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

While the Spam broils, prepare the rice. In a large bowl, lightly pour rice vinegar, sprinkle granulated sugar, and sprinkle salt over the cooked rice. Mix the rice thoroughly with a rice paddle or spatula to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Spread the seasoned rice evenly into a 10 by 13 inch baking pan, ensuring it forms a compact layer. Use a spatula to press it down firmly.

Sprinkle furikake generously over the entire surface of the compacted rice layer.
⏱️ 1 min00

Carefully remove the broiled Spam from the oven. Using chopsticks or tongs, arrange the 18 Spam slices on top of the furikake-sprinkled rice in the baking pan. The slices should fit snugly to cover the rice layer.
⏱️ 2 min00
- 8
Use a spatula to firmly press down on the Spam and rice layers in the pan, compacting them together. This helps the musubi hold its shape.
⏱️ 1 min00
- 9
Cut the nori sheets into 2-inch wide strips. You will need 18 strips, one for each musubi.
⏱️ 1 min00
- 10
To form the musubis, take a portion of the combined Spam and rice from the baking pan (each portion should be roughly the size of a Spam slice). Place it on a nori strip and wrap the nori around the Spam and rice block to form a musubi. Moisten the end of the nori with a little water to seal.

For storage or transport, individually wrap each completed Spam Musubi tightly in plastic cling film.
