Spam Musubi

[Another post by EurJean since I couldn't make their Dinner Meet. Thanks so much, EurJean, for making my life easy!]

We made a 1/3 cup ratio of sauce for 2 cans of spam musubi and it was plenty of sauce. Don't be grossed out by the mayo, it's surprisingly good! We also made a vegetarian version of spam musubi for Thomas using pressed teriyaki tofu (followed the same steps).

Ingredients:
1 can Spam
3 cups (measured uncooked) sushi rice
Equal parts sugar/soy sauce/mirin (preferably brown sugar)
Nori
Kewpie mayo (optional)
Musubi-maker (optional)

Method:
Slice spam into 8-10 pieces. Mix sauce (sugar, soy sauce, mirin). Fry spam until each side is crispy/browned. Add sauce to pan until it thickens and carmelizes. Assemble musubi: lay a 2-3 inch strip of nori down, put the musubi maker in the middle of the strip (horizontally), press a layer of rice down, sprinkle furikake and/or mayo layer, put in a slice of spam, sprinkle furikake and/or mayo layer, press a final layer of rice down, and fold over the pieces of nori (using a little rice to seal if necessary). This makes a sandwich style musubi (nori/rice/spam/rice/nori). You can also make a more traditional musubi (nori/rice/spam/nori).
