How To Make Spam Musubi

Learn how to make the ultimate favorite snack of Hawai'i, Spam Musubi.

Ever since i was little i remember my mom, grandma, and aunty always used to make me this for snack after school.  Ask any person from Hawai'i and they will tell you how important the spam musubi is in the lifestyle of Hawai'i.  I always tell friends that visit they have to try it because you haven't experienced Hawai'i if you haven't tried a spam musubi.

In this instructable i will show you how to make the four most popular varieties of this popular snack.

1. Regular Spam Musubi
2. Teriyaki Spam Musubi
3. Spam and Egg Musubi
4. Spam and Furikake Musubi

So, i hope you enjoy!

Step 1 Ingredients

What you will need...

3 cups cooked white sticky rice
1 package of nori(seaweed) sheets (7.5" x 8")
1 can of spam (doesn't matter what kind you choose)
1 bottle furikake (japanese rice seasoning)
1 egg (to be scrambled)

Teriyaki Sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp mirin

You can find all of these ingredients at the nearest grocery store in the Asian section or go to your local Asian Market. I'd prefer the latter because you are guaranteed to find everything.

you must be from the islands! I would be so happy if we have musubi at 7-11's here in CA

I read this yesterday, went out and bought what I needed, and made them last night for lunch today! My wife and 8-yr-old love them and next time we'll maybe use hot dogs, just for a change. BTW, I used the can as a mold and it worked great! Excellent Instructable!

[parkerace]

Cool idea!

[angelabchua]

I love you for posting this. This is one of my favorite things to make, and when I started working here at Instructables, I VOWED that this was going to be my first project to post, and of course, i never did it. So I love that this was your first!

mmmmm, i think im gonna go home and musubi myself tonight!

Before I had a musubi press, i used to use the actual spam can, but that was always sketchy with the sharp edges

[rsagawa]

thank you so much! this was actually a project for one of my college design classes, so i'm glad someone like you who works for this site approves of it.

[angelabchua]

oh, I TOTALLY approve. When I visit my family in Hawaii, I always hit up 7-11 for some musubi on the go. I'm sad that we don't have them out here in CA, however I feel that if we did, it just wouldn't be the same.

I don't have a musubi press, what else could I use?

on another note, I fell in love with these when I lived in Hawai'i. I used to either make them early in the morning or pick them up from 7-11 on my way to the beach every weekend.

[rsagawa]

you could actually use the spam can.

here's a video i found online:

Great stuff. I don't live in Hawaii but my mom did and she used to make these for us sometimes. I introduced my wife to mushubi but she will only eat it if it's made with korean bbq chicken instead of spam.

[rsagawa]

thank you, and you can use any kind of meat. i've actually had a korean bbq chicken musubi and loved it.
