- Spam Musubi with Kimchi
Spam is one of those ingredients that you either love or hate. In the US, Spam has a bad rep as being mystery meat or poor people’s food due to its WWII history. However, outside the US, like in South Korea, Spam is considered a classy gift with elaborate gift boxes.
I like Spam, but, only in small amounts. The salt content, even in the Low Sodium Spam, can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. My favorite way to prepare Spam is Spam musubi.
Spam musubi is a popular snack and lunch food in Hawaii. At the root of it, it’s cooked Spam, rice, a slightly sweet sauce and nori. There’s a number of different ingredients you can add to it, like egg, furikake, or kimchi. You can slice the Spam thicker, use more/less rice, it’s up to you.
There’s a mold you can purchase to make musubi, but the small Spam can works perfectly...plus I don’t like purchasing single use kitchen tools.
Ingredients:
1 small can of Spam sliced into four ¼” slices
2 cups of cooked rice
Four 2” strips of nori
Kimchi
¼ cup of sugar
¼ cup of soy sauce
¼ cup of mirin
Directions:
1. Make rice over stovetop or in a rice cooker. Set aside and keep warm
2. Mix sugar, soy sauce and mirin in a small bowl until sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
3. Heat approximately ½ tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Pan fry Spam slices until browned on both sides.
3. Brush sauce mixture on both sides of the Spam and continue to fry until slightly caramelized. Remove from pan and set aside.
4. Wash and dry the Spam can. Line the inside with plastic wrap. Pack rice into the can so it’s about ⅓” thick.
5. If you’re using kimchi, place a layer of kimchi on top of the rice.
6. Place a slice of the fried Spam on top of the kimchi. Gather the excess plastic wrap around the top of the Spam and continue to pack down. Pull out the musubi and set aside. Repeat with the remaining slices of Spam.
7. Lay down a strip of nori on your work surface. Unwrap a Spam and rice block and center it on top of nori. Fold the nori tightly around the musubi and seal with a dab of water.
8. Repeat with remaining musubis and enjoy!
Notes:
If you like more sauce, brush some sauce on the rice block before you place the kimchi or Spam. You can also warm up the remaining sauce and use it as a dipping sauce.
If you’re using kimchi, you can also finely mince the kimchi, squeeze out the excess juice and layer it on top of the rice.

So clever to use the spam can as a compressor or whatever its called rather than buying it looks really good👌🏻
I never thought to use the can as a rice press, genius!
Using the can as a mold for the rice is genius! Also the kimchi was a nice touch! Definitely trying this!
Wow.. I totally miss this now that I live in the Frozen north! I didn't know you used the SPAM can to form the musubi roll! Thanks for this.
I'm so glad I watched this video!Other people in other videos tell you to buy a mold,or cut out the bottom of the spam can to make a mold,but I never find mold anywhere and it takes a long time to cut out the bottom of the can,(and you could get cut by the can any second!)and I get really hungry for a snack so this video showed a different way to use the spam can to be a mold with a plastic wrap,and then you just easily pull it out!Genius!Thank you! (Now I'm going to go make some that looks nice,because of a new technique!)
We have the molds here to press it down
As someone who lives in Japan, this was incredibly easy to make. They even sold the Nori in exact size strips so all I had to do was pull it out of the package.
We have them here in hawaii too as a local we eat this kine stuff everyday
Great idea with the spam can! I will try this method 😀 Thanks!
This is good! no more talk it just showing how the food is prepare! Good Job. I like your Video! :)
This makes me soooo hungryyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
Anyway, awesome vid

Wow I need to use the spam can trick next time I make spam musibi's 👍
Thank you for a very easy to follow recipe.
I love the sounds
I literally yelled "Oh dope!!!!" when i saw the title of your video. Trying to find good ways to eat spam.
Okay I'm gonna try this recipe now. Thanks :)
What a high quality video.
Great recipe, many thanks : )
my cousins mom use to make these i love them
Omg this is the thing I miss most about Hawaii (besides the views, and the people, and the weather, and the views, and the ocean, and the views).... :( I only made it once and it didn't taste as good. But using the spam container as the mould is fucking genius!! I need to do this again.
Aww i love korean kimchi.. it look so yummy😋
Looks good. I am going to do this with my moroccan off brand spam
+NovSweet Paheh I use sushi rice or short grain rice.
making and eating them are fun
It's a hearty meal in the middle of the night
Someone needs to make a 3d printed mold to make a can of spams worth at once
Yum
Yummmm spam misubi spam is good I live in usa
Quick advice: Use salt reduced spam. 😉
This guy has nice hands
super yums
Today I will make it,
Delicious
yum!
Mcdonald's used to serve this in their breakfast menu.
where? not in Hawaii...
hawaiiguy1 It was available for a very limited time a few years back in East Asia. I remember eating it a few times all over the place.
Well we have it here in hawaii but its rice spam and eggs
Your steps are so much simpler! But I dont have Nori sheets lol...
where do you live..? you can get them at any asian grocery store. H-mart, zion market, Mitsuwa, 99 ranch, etc.. I'm pretty sure you can even order online from amazon!
Im eating the right now
Can I substitute mirin with Chinese cooking wine?
With a ratio of 13g of protein, 27g of fat, 10g of saturated fat, good luck.
Hi
Can we use, any kind of rice? Sushi rice? What rice do you use?
+NovSweet Paheh We can use any rice- but traditionally they use sushi rice. I know some places serve with regular Asian rice we always eat, some with sticky rice :) it's up to your preference!
As a local from hawaii just use THE TIGER RICE COOKER
is there a certain type of rice that is preferred? like japanese rice? what kind of rice was used for this recipe?
You should use short grain rice coz it's sticky in texture :)
Or TIGER COOKER RICE
This is awesome but what is mirin? I have everything except that and am wondering if I could go without using it?
it's rice wine like sake but has lesser alcohol content :) basically intended for cooking :)
I always use honey to "sauce" my spam. So you can use that instead of the soy sauce + sugar + mirin
what if we don't have ?
you have nice hands. i hope that doesn't sound weird lol.
Is mirin optional
Yes, mirin is optional. It adds a subtle sweetness, but not necessary to enjoying spam musubi.
Make Food. Eat Food. Ok
What's the font you use in the graphics?
jijibum2001 I use Oswald.
What's mirin and where can I get it?
Mirin is a type of rice wine similar to sake. It has lower alcoholic content and higher sugar. You can find it at all asian supermarket and some supermarkets that have an asian section,
what if you don't have nori?
+Christina Renee Hmmm...if you don't have nori, you can try rice paper. Or you can just sandwich the rice between two slices of Spam, like a Spam burger. Your fingers might be a little sticky, but I bet it will be worth it. :)
What editor did you use for your videos? ☺️
doesn't matter, pretty much any editing program can do this now, including windows movie maker.
츄릅♥
Does the nori taste fishy?
Ruby Al I don't think it tastes fishy at all. It adds a bit of salty 'umami' flavor.
The only time Nori taste fish is they have those dry salty fish in it. As for seaweed it doesnt
have you never had seaweed? Like in kimbap, sushi rolls, etc.? It's the same thing lol.
Seaweed is good also nori is good wait there the same thing tho
What is mirin? 😅
Can I use cooking wine or sushi vinegar instead of mirin?
+Sophie Madelina if you want to omit the mirin entirely, you can!
oh ok thank you :)
came here bc I didn't know what do with my spam
Spam Musubi No Ka Oi
can i use meatloaf?
you cannot then call it 'spam' musubi...
No you can use spam and egg also
Everything was going well, until you added Kimchee. OMG YUCK!!
Why would eat once
I've enjoyed Kimchi on a hamburger in place of pickles.
Are you white? gg
I like kimochi more
nori
ㅁㅊ 배고프다
this is why you dont mix koreans with others...
@@MeowkolaTesla *hawaiian also yeah spam musubi was developed by asians who came during the sugar plantation and also the use of spam which was an insyant meal for ww2
