Spam Onigiri
I absolutely love onigiri, especially with spam filling. It’s different from traditional fillings, but the savory and caramelized spam pairs so well with the fluffy rice.
Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Slice the spam in half and then into thick pieces.
- 2
In a bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
- 3
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the spam slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- 4
Pour the soy sauce mixture over and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the spam to absorb the flavors. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- 5
Wet your hands and the inside of the onigiri mold with water to prevent the rice from sticking.
- 6
Place a scoop of rice into the mold, filling it about halfway.
- 7
Add a slice of spam on top of the rice layer in the mold.
- 8
Add more rice on top, filling the mold to the top.
- 9
Press down firmly to form the onigiri shape.
- 10
Take an onigiri wrapper and follow the instructions on the package for wrapping.
