Fire Island Spam Musubi

Fire Island Spam Musubi

Servings: 8 pieces Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 can Spam, sliced into 8 even pieces

• 2 tbsp Fire Island seasoning

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 4 cups cooked sushi rice

• 1 package nori (seaweed) sheets, cut into strips

• Water, for handling the rice

• Plastic wrap, for shaping the musubi

Instructions:

1. Season the Spam: In a small bowl, mix the Fire Island seasoning, soy sauce, and sugar. Marinate the Spam slices in this mixture for 5-10 minutes.

2. Cook the Spam: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the Spam slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until caramelized and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Assemble the Musubi: Lay a strip of nori shiny side down on a clean surface. Place a small amount of rice on the nori, using wet hands to shape it into a rectangle the size of a Spam slice. Place a piece of Spam on top of the rice. Wrap the nori around the Spam and rice, using a small amount of water to seal the edges.

4. Shape and Serve: Wrap each musubi tightly in plastic wrap to help hold its shape. Serve warm or at room temperature.
