Awesome video! I've had them that way and they're yummy! :). Family and friends would almost always ask me to make my spam wasubi for small gatherings or beautiful beach days! On my spam wasubi, I use: sushi rice, spam (teriyaki glazed), scrambled egg, cucumber (thin sliced), takuwan (Japanese pickled daikon radish), beni shóga (strips of picked ginger) and of course the nori. SO DELICIOUS 🤤😁!! must try. Keep up the good content😎🤙🏽
Oh. My. Gosh. Your recipe is so creative and sounds so yummy! I’m gonna have to try that with my next musubi, I love the idea of the radish and cucumber!
@@13Voodoobilly69 Great question! Add sushi vinegar (vinegar, salt, and sugar) into the rice. Make sure the rice is steaming hot when adding the sushi vinegar (mixed). This'll absorb the vinegar nicely. Mix well, flip rice every 20 mins or so, and let rice cool down to room temperature.
Pan fry the spam until crisp. No need to use any oil. Then brush on the sauce and let it caramelize. Mix the furikake in the rice. For the egg, add mirin and a dash of soy to the beaten eggs and cook it as a rolled omelette.
I fry my SPAM first before simmering in the sauce. And instead of seasoning the rice with sushi seasoning vinegar, I make sure that the simmering sauce is reduced, and just drizzle a tiny bit onto the rice after the first press in the mold. I also use the sauce as the glue for the nori. But everything else is almost the same! I've turned many a SPAM hater into musubi fanatics with them!
Great recipe, I tried this recipe and switched the steps up. I browned the spam first, both sides no oil since spam is pretty fatty. Wipe the pan of excess oil, add sauce to pan and reduce on low to med heat stirring occasionally until bubbles form and sticky. Add spam back to pan to absorb sauce.
I made fish and chips last night and had some batter and seasoned flour leftover that I refrigerated. Used it today to deep fry the musubi for lunch. Turned out amazing!
I got introduces to Musubi about a year ago. The Hawaiian lady at the local deli new work makes them. Incredible thing. I recently had a Musubi with rice, scrambled egg, original spam a teriyaki cooked pineapple slice with a mild salsa. What a awesome breakfast. Mahalo.
@@Jeanelleats The "little deli mart" in Seattle Wa. A lovely Hawaiian woman makes them. I have to arrive early as she sells out every day. My co-workers have even started to make them so a little friendly competition. Its my turn to try and out do them with my version. Happy new year.
Hey Jeanelle, great awesome recipe. To also decrease the sodium you could substitute the 3rd table spoon of soyu to water and instead of 2 tablespoon white sugar, do 1 with white sugar and 1 with brown sugar but if youre looking for darker color, you could use dark brown sugar instead.
Recently, I saw (and tried) a spam musubi, just like these, which had then been wrapped in a moistened rice paper wrapper-- like a Vietnamese salad roll-- "...just to hold the whole thing together a little better and make it more dippable in sauces..." (according to the person who made them that way). They were EXCELLENT, and yes-- the added wrapper made them a LOT more user-friendly for dipping in a variety of tasty sauces! Yum! 😋😋😋 🤤🤤🤤
I don't have sticky rice. Being from the South I cooked grits night before and lined a pan the next day (or when grits are cooled or cold) cut spam size pieces of grits and add eggs. Worked good and tastes good to me. Make extra and refrigerate.
If I could give this video more than 5 stars I would, got the rice seasoning, bought molds, I did it just like her and omg this addictive. Like my goodness. I got this from a Hawaiian bbq place and it was good, decided to make my own and found this video. This flavor leaves that bbq place in the dust
I like to mix the Furikaki into the rice and I use Aloha Hawaiian Honey Terikaki sauce to cook the spam. I can never make enough of them for my family and they are always eaten within minutes after making them.
As a Puerto Rican man who eats fried spam with eggs and white rice….where the hell has this been all my life?! Why did my family move to the mainland of America and not Hawaii so I could have had this all of my 35 years 😂
Just made this, very delicious. I am full, satisfied, and now have lunch for tomorrow Had to use the spam can since I don't have a musubi press, but it wasn't bad.
Omg she’s got the best logic at like 2 minutes. Adding eggs to make it a whole meal and using the same pan to have less dishes. Hahaha exactly. That’s perfect. Everybody take notes. This is how things r done lol
Thank you ❤️. I jus made this recipe at home. It was delicious. I like the teriyaki spam flavor too. I didn’t have the Japanese seasoning or vinegar but it still tasted good. It tasted even better with some wasabi. I cut out the bottom of the spam can to make the Spam Musubi mold. It worked to drop in the rice on last. I also used the top of the can to punch out the egg shape.Then I wrapped it in Saran Wrap to press it down.
Followed this recipe and made it tonight. As someone who doesn't like SPAM or regularly eat/buy it....I now have a reason to keep it in my pantry. SOOOO GOOD!!!! 🥰 🤤 This will be my go-to recipe. Can't wait to make it for family and friends
I like to use the same marinade for my spam musubis (emphasis on the last syllable). The only difference is that I put a thin layer of rice on the bottom and the top of the spam so it soaks up any extra sauce. I use freshly made rice that is piping hot, but don't put any sushi rice seasoning. The hot rice helps to soften the nori a bit and it holds together on it's own. I make this for every field trip or when we go holoholo (cruising) around the island. It's usually wrapped in plastic wrap right after I make it, so the "soft" nori texture is what we're used to, not crunchy nori.
Looks delicious and how spam musubi was first made. You can also add rice to the top of the spam before pressing down (so ri e is on the top and bottom) and a little water (paced on your fingertip and slid lightly where the nori meets) will hold the nori in place. Musubi is pronounced “musubee” with the accent on the last syllable. The musubi in your video is excellent. You won’t find too many places that make it like you though. Thank you for sharing!
Occasionally, I substitute the egg with sliced pineapple. Musubi is a very versatile and forgiving recipe. I also add green onions sometimes, on top of the rice. I have also made it with Eel Sauce on top of the rice. Good job on the technique.
wow that sounds AMAZING! I really have to try it with pineapple...maybe even char the pineapple! And I love the idea of eel sauce too! Maybe even EEL MUSUBI?!
It's all about preference. I love the sogginess, especially after having waited in the ovens all day at ABC! Then again there's nothing wrong with fresh Spam Musubi =)
A Japanese omelet works great here as well. slice it like you did the SPAM. I also do not use the sushi seasoning on my rice since I'm not making sushi and everything I've seen and heard from the Hawaiians suggest this is not normally done. Like others have said, I also do a light sear on the SPAM before the addition of the sauce. Furikake.. I've done it like you show here, and I've also mixed it with my rice.. both are fun textures. These make an amazing addition to a Bento lunch.
thanks so much for this awesome tutorial!! This is my partner's comfort food and I want to be able to make it for them when they come to visit. can't wait to give this recipe a try
I’m pregnant and now I have a new pregnancy craving LOl two min after watching your video I ordered a musubi mold 😂 will be making these in the next few days! Thanks!
Did I drool on myself watching this video? Yes. Yes I did. I would add some Tabasco sauce on the egg!! Or some Coopers Old Time seasoning (from Coopers BBQ in Llano, TX). YUM!! Nothing wrong with a little Texas love in SPAM Misubi. I’ll call it “Texawaiian Misubi”. Booyah!!!
I love spam musubi. I do not make it often but when I do its hella extra lol. I make a hawaiian-korean-Lao fusion roll. I start with the sauce first and let the spam marinade in it for 30 minutes to an hour. I fry it up without the sauce first and then I heat up the sauce to turn it into a glaze. I blanch off spinach into a cloth and try to squeeze out the excess water and then i season it with a dash of sesame oil and sesame seeds. I mix eggs with chopped green onions, cilantro, dash of fish sauce, and black pepper and cook the egg mixture in batches so it can be cut into strips, I then cut my fried spam into strips and I cut strips of cream cheese (optional). I put cream cheese in when I feel like I want to make it spicy so it can help balance the roll. Since I'm Lao & Thai we love our food to be balanced with salty, sour, sweet, spicy, & sometimes bitter. I also use fresh or canned pineapple and sushi style seasoned rice. I assemble all the ingredients inside the roll with a drizzle of the glaze and sriracha inside the roll as well and then roll it up like you are making kimbop. It's time consuming but so worth it. I also make this using rice paper wrappers with rice vermicelli noodles or mung bean threads instead of sushi rice and when I make it this way I do not put in cream cheese because it doesnt taste good to me for some reason when it's in a fresh spring roll. I also put strips of seaweed inside fresh spring roll as well so it gives it a crunch factor. I love combining flavors together that dont sound like they should go together but a lot of times it turns out pretty tasty.
Aloha!!! As a Hawaii local, I also enjoy using the different flavors of spam given. Like Tocino, Chorizo, and Teriyaki flavored. Given its already marinated haha LOL... When I make a 7-11 run, I always grab the Spam Katsu musubi...supah ono! Makes me wanna recreate but never had the chance. Great job with your musubis! I personally just love mine with extra rice tho. Must be the filipino blood in me hahaha!
Flavor components I'd think about adding: Sesame oil, fried green onion/shallots/garlic, chili flake, curry powder, cooked spinach, or baby bok choy tops. Lime/lemon/yuzu juice. Seaweed salad greens. Man, you can go wild with all that! Butter-fried panko flakes? Fried potato/ potato chips? Crispy bacon or pancetta or any crisped thin meat slices. I'd add that most of these enhancers could be added between the rice and spam or directly into the rice if they have a high water content, as long as the rice is still dry in the end.
Yes the beaten egg (beaten 80 times)- like the musubi I had in Oahu. I marinate the Spam in a mixture of sesame oil, honey, little hoisin souse, oyster sauce and a little soy sauce. I fry in a small canola oil the marinated spam on medium low so the spam won't burn. The steam rice is mixed with mirin and sesame/ nori (no bonito) furikake. I use the spam can with plastic wrap.
The best musubi in the whole wide world?... I believed ! ! Way back, I experimented w/ filipino beef tapa & egg, Adobo ckn/pork & egg, Tocino & egg, (make the meats are thinly sliced if possible ) its super awesome too 👍😎 Andd this next pinoy musubi is crrrazy,.. tuyo w/ tomato and eggs, using garlic fried rice. Kinda hardcore but i liked it.
Bought my first mold today.. thanks for the videos. This is inspiring. I tried to make Musubi years ago. It failed. Will try your recipe. Thanks again for the inspiration.
You are very welcome! I really hope this time it turns out well! One tip I have is to make sure the rice isn’t too wet with the seasoning and to press down really hard on the mold ⚡️ let me know how it goes!!
My children have never had spam, but they just rated this meal 4/5! Thank you! I didn't have sushi sauce, so I mixed the tiniest bits of mirin, garlic flavored rice vinegar, sesame oil and fish sauce 🤔😁 I hope this is a new request. It was easy enough!
This looks amazing! I'll definitely try this on my day off. Also just a heads up! In Hawai'i, the proper way of pronouncing "musubi" is actually "MU-su-bi" not "mu-SU-bi." The emphasis is on the first syllable :)
katheezy811 yes thank you!! Let me know how it is. I’m so appreciative of you telling me how to pronounce it, and I can’t wait to make another video so I can pronounce it properly next time!! 🙈
actually, though, in japan we don't say the emphasis on the first syllable. we say it closer to how she did. it's a japanese word at the end of the day
pretty much exactly the way I make mine.. I find it help to have a bowl of war water to dip the mold press paddle into, it helps keep the rice from sticking to it when you pull it out of the mold. Also, if you dip the ends of the nori sheet in water or slightly moisten them, you don't need the rice to make it stick together, it seals up nicely, you won't even see the seam. :D
I have no idea what a tablespoon is so I used a pho soup spoon, 2 to 2, added a teaspoon of rice vinegar, tasted it, added more soy sauce. The taste was actually perfect. I loved that you suggested fried the spam twice.
Lived in Hawaii for 3 years and sad to say i only ate musubi from my local gas station for a quick snack. Man if i had youtube back then. Tx i will be making this right away!!!!!!!!
Oh my God just made it and it's delicious.... its so simple, pretty quick and filling (I ate like 3 myself, couldn't help myself)! Great video and thanks for the recipe!
I like to add dry powdered wasabi to my furikake. Sometimes I put a little fresh wasabi under the spam. Also, I always make my sauce with one to one ratio of sugar to soy sauce. This makes my musubi taste onolicious like when I got it from the gas station in Naalehu.
I absolutely loved watching this and put it out there to share to see who else can be adventurous and I really do want to try this and I have to go buy some ingredients at threAsian market ....
Thanks for sharing your recipe😊 unfortunately I didn't have all the right stuff but mine came out pretty yummy😁trying to figure out how to send you a pic🙃
Hello Jeanell, Wow that looks good, we need to try that since my wife loves spam. Looks very easy to make and simple idea for a breakfast or lunch. Thank you for sharing and keep in touch. The Carroll Family
It seems like if you have that musubi mold you could use the pressing piece as a template to cut the egg instead of how it was cut in the video, might be better size.

Since I'm Lao & Thai we love our food to be balanced with salty, sour, sweet, spicy, & sometimes bitter. I also use fresh or canned pineapple and sushi style seasoned rice. I assemble all the ingredients inside the roll with a drizzle of the glaze and sriracha inside the roll as well and then roll it up like you are making kimbop. It's time consuming but so worth it. I also make this using rice paper wrappers with rice vermicelli noodles or mung bean threads instead of sushi rice and when I make it this way I do not put in cream cheese because it doesnt taste good to me for some reason when it's in a fresh spring roll.

Flavor components I'd think about adding: Sesame oil, fried green onion/shallots/garlic, chili flake, curry powder, cooked spinach, or baby bok choy tops. Lime/lemon/yuzu juice. Seaweed salad greens. Man, you can go wild with all that! Butter-fried panko flakes? Fried potato/ potato chips? Crispy bacon or pancetta or any crisped thin meat slices.

Yes the beaten egg (beaten 80 times)- like the musubi I had in Oahu. I marinate the Spam in a mixture of sesame oil, honey, little hoisin souse, oyster sauce and a little soy sauce. I fry in a small canola oil the marinated spam on medium low so the spam won't burn. The steam rice is mixed with mirin and sesame/ nori (no bonito) furikake. I use the spam can with plastic wrap.
Solid job I always make this when my wife's mom and dad come visit us on maui from the Philippines they love it
I roasted some sesame seeds before pouring the eggs and it gave it an extra crunch
I made this today and it was sooooo good!!

pretty much exactly the way I make mine.. I find it help to have a bowl of war water to dip the mold press paddle into, it helps keep the rice from sticking to it when you pull it out of the mold. Also, if you dip the ends of the nori sheet in water or slightly moisten them, you don't need the rice to make it stick together, it seals up nicely, you won't even see the seam. :D
Would this trick make the nori chewy ? I’m having trouble with my nori getting so chewy is hard to take bites out of it lol
@@teresitabriseno8532 - No, i havent found that it makes the nori chewy at all...
I mix Furikaki and mirin to the rice, easier. I also add a layer of kimchi and use water to seal the seaweed.
I have no idea what a tablespoon is so I used a pho soup spoon, 2 to 2, added a teaspoon of rice vinegar, tasted it, added more soy sauce. The taste was actually perfect. I loved that you suggested fried the spam twice.
thank you!!
I finally made one by watching your video. Thanks.
LOVE YOUR RECIPE A LOT MORE THAN THE OTHER RECIPES ONLINE... MAHALO FOR SHARING.
Look so yummy. Never done that before , i will try anyway.
Yeah, we all fell in love with you and the recipe. lol
Try mixing furikake into the rice.👌🏽👏🏽🤙🏽
Ya know, that is a way cleaner and faster procedure. I’ll do that next time, thanks for the tip!! 🤩
👀🤙🏽
Also, when I'm cooking my rice to make musubi, I add a pinch of kosher salt and Hon Dashi which adds flavor
@@jasonbabila6006 !! good idea! I realize sometimes, I eat rice with my flaky sea salt too...I didn't even think about Hon Dashi! MMMM!
Lived in Hawaii for 3 years and sad to say i only ate musubi from my local gas station for a quick snack. Man if i had youtube back then. Tx i will be making this right away!!!!!!!!
I like how you cut them in slabs like that.😋
Heheh it's the way I've usually had Spam! How do you usually have it cut?
@@Jeanelleats
Same as Yours, though in halves,
I will do whole slabs like You do now ☺️😋!
This was an awesome video! Well organized, informative, and your personality is lovely! Thanks so much :)
Oh my God just made it and it's delicious.... its so simple, pretty quick and filling (I ate like 3 myself, couldn't help myself)! Great video and thanks for the recipe!
I like to add dry powdered wasabi to my furikake. Sometimes I put a little fresh wasabi under the spam. Also, I always make my sauce with one to one ratio of sugar to soy sauce. This makes my musubi taste onolicious like when I got it from the gas station in Naalehu.
they also sell Wasabi furikake flavoring, it's already mixed. My local Asian store has salmon, wasabi and ginger mixes
My son begs me to make this all the time. I will try your version next
This is how I was raised making it and of course I'm from molokai Hawaii lol
Oh my gosh yay!! I’m so glad to hear that! Anything else special you do to your spam musubi??
@@Jeanelleats I know this is old but you can also use tempura shrimp instead of spam ir hotdog I also am born and raised in oahu
When the spam matches the nail color... you know some good musubi are coming!
Great video! 💯% agree with cooking SPAM a second time to make it a little crunchy. Excellent tip. 🤙🏼
Just made this using your recipe - it was delicious!
Try adding some pickled red onion, it takes it to another level!!
I absolutely loved watching this and put it out there to share to see who else can be adventurous and I really do want to try this and I have to go buy some ingredients at threAsian market ....
I love these so much!! This was great, can't wait to give this a try, thanks!
Phelan Irie Spam & Egg Musubi. 19 yrs to perfection.
I like to cook the spam is hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, honey, shaoxing wine, five spice, red fermented bean curd, and garlic.
This was such a charming video. Thank u for sharing!
I'm going to try this using the Spam can as the mold. I'll let you know how it goes.
You can use the spam can as a mold for the rice.

Hello Jeanell, Wow that looks good, we need to try that since my wife loves spam. Looks very easy to make and simple idea for a breakfast or lunch. Thank you for sharing and keep in touch.
The Carroll Family
Oh my goodness, I really hope you try it at home! This would be amazing as breakfast for sure. Please keep me updated on how you liked it!
It seems like if you have that musubi mold you could use the pressing piece as a template to cut the egg instead of how it was cut in the video, might be better size.
Looks really good. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was useful! :D
Wow why did I watch this even though I know ho to make this without recipe
It's just so tempting🤣
heheheheh. glad you enjoyed the video!
