Growing up in Hawaii, someone always brought Spam Musubis to the beach, to sports games, to parties and more. Now, I make them for my kiddos when we're heading to the beach or to the pool as a great snack that does great at filling them up so I maybe don't have to bring too much other food (haha.....who am I kidding. With 3 teens and a toddler, I will definitely need more food. Chips and fruit go great with musubis).
Here is the recipe, so you can make some musubis for your kiddos while out having summer fun.
The sauce definitely makes this so don't skip on that part.
Ingredients:
- 1 can of spam
- Nori (Seaweed wrap. Can be found at most grocery stores in the asian section)
- Furikaki (optional. Nori, salt and sesame seed sprinkles. Can be found at your local asian markets)
- White Rice
For Sauce:
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, can sub light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Or get a bottle of teriyaki sauce
Tools: A musubi maker (you can find this at your local asian market or order it on Amazon)

Instructions:
- Cook Rice.
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a saucepan and heat and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Alternatively, you could use teriyaki sauce.
- Cut spam into 8 even slices.
- Cook spam slices in pan. Pour sauce over spam while cooking until brown on both sides.
- Assemble Musubi. Layout a piece of nori (they should come in long rectangles). Put musubi maker in the middle of the nori rectangle. Add rice. Press rice down. Sprinkle Furikaki over rice. Add a piece of cooked spam. Press everything down. Lift musubi maker off the nori. Wrap the nori around the rice and spam. Dip your finger in water and run damp finger along the edge of the nori to make it stay put.
- Wrap your completed musubi in saran wrap to help keep it together and warm.
I hope you enjoy it as much as my kids do.
