Make it!

• Note: I used a nonstick mini rolling pin to pack down my rice. You can use any kitchen tool that will help you do this, or clean fingers dipped in water!
• Make your sushi rice – I used a Tiger brand rice cooker, and I used a ratio of one cup of uncooked white rice to 1¼ cups of water.
• While your rice cooks, cut strips of nori with clean scissors. I cut my strips about two inches wide.
• Once your rice is finished, add the seasoned vinegar; mix to combine with a rice paddle.
• Open up your can of Spam. Try not to be horrified by the sight and scent of pale packed meat glistening in its own gelatin. Ha! Slice the Spam into eight equal slices.
• In a medium bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce and brown sugar until combined. Marinate the Spam slices in the mixture for a few minutes.
• In a medium frying pan set on medium high heat, fry up your Spam slices until caramelized and browned, around 2 minutes per side.
• Move to a clean countertop or table workspace.
• Spoon 1/3 cup of rice into your empty Spam can. Pack the rice down in an even layer. Turn the can upside down and whack it flat down on your workspace countertop. If the rice is packed down well, it will plop out in a pleasant rectangular rice puck!
• Place a slice of browned Spam on top of the rice.
• Wrap the Spam and rice with a strip of nori! Use a bit of water to adhere the nori edges together.
• You did it!! Eat the first spam musubi (you have to test it!). Then continue the process with the remaining ingredients; serve warm.
