Spam Musubi

1. Mix the soy sauce, mirin and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
2. Heat a film of oil in a frying pan over medium-high and fry the Spam slices for 2 minutes a side until browned at the edges.
3. Pour the sauce into the pan and turn the slices for 1–2 minutes until sticky and glazed. Take off the heat.
4. Line the empty Spam tin with cling film. Press a layer of warm rice about 2cm thick into it, firmly enough to hold together.
5. Lift the rice block out by the cling film, sit it on a strip of nori, sprinkle with furikake and lay a slice of glazed Spam on top.
6. Wrap the nori up and around, sealing the join with a dab of water. Repeat, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes:

‍

• Warm rice presses and sticks; cold rice crumbles
• Glaze the Spam properly — dry fried slices make a much duller musubi
• They keep for a few hours wrapped, which is the entire reason they exist
