Spam musubi

Make a few for lunch and save a few for tomorrow's lunch. Furikake is a rice seasoning. A musubi maker presses the ingredients together. TBS means tablespoon, tsp means teaspoon.

Ingredients

Spam, one can

Oyster sauce, 3 TBS

Soy sauce, 3 TBS

Sticky rice, cooked, 2 C

Furikake, 1/8 tsp

Dried seaweed, cut strips

Preparation

Mix oyster sauce and soy sauce in 1-gallon ziplock bag. Slice Spam into 1/2-inch thick rectangles. Place Spam in bag so sauce surrounds slices. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature. Heat fry pan and place marinated Spam in it. Pour remaining sauce into small bowl. Fry Spam, without oil, until slightly brown. Remove to flat surface in single layer. Cut seaweed into 3-inch strips to wrap around musubi. Set musubi press on top of dried seaweed strip. Add sticky rice to make 1/2-inch layer, press to shape, sprinkle with furikake. Add slice of cooked Spam. Press. Add top layer of rice. Press. Sprinkle furikake. Press. Gently pull the musubi mold up, leaving layers of rice and Spam. Fold seaweed up and around. Eat right away. To save, tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Use the extra sauce as a dip.
