Catherine ~ Please advise of the correct way to prepare "Spam musubi rolls".  I had this while on vacation in Maui- and I loved it!!

Spam musubi is very easy to make. First, you need to cook up some medium grained rice (don't use long grain Chinese style rice or converted rice because it won't stick together, which is a prerequisite for making the musubi!). A cup of uncooked white rice will probably yield about 2 C of cooked rice, so make enough for 4 Spam musubi (2 C uncooked medium grain rice).

Next, you need to buy some nori (laver) that you can find in the Asian food aisle of most large supermarkets. Cut each nori sheet in half. Then you need a can of SPAM. I use low sodium SPAM. Cut the SPAM loaf into about 8 slices. Put them in a skillet and brown them. Some people add a little soy sauce (use Kikkoman, Aloha or Yamasa or tamari, but not Chinese soy sauce) maybe 3 Tbsp, along with a tsp or so of sugar. When the SPAM is heated through, remove from the pan and hold aside.

If you don't want to spend any money to buy one of those Plexiglas SPAM musubi molds, take the empty SPAM can and cut out the bottom of it so you have a can with both ends open. Put the can on a cutting board. Take a piece of the cooked SPAM and put it at the bottom of the can to fit right back into the SPAM can. Then take about 3/4 to 1 c. of cooked rice, and tamp it down into the can, on top of the piece of SPAM. Put the can bottom that you removed back on top of the rice. Press down on it somewhat firmly (to compress the rice slightly). While you're pressing down on the can lid, raise the sides of the can with your other hand so that the compressed rice
and SPAM block comes out on the cutting board. Take that half piece of nori you cut and wrap it around the rice/SPAM block. Seal the ends with a little water. Voila! A SPAM musubi.

I know the instructions sound daunting, but it really is easier to do than it is to explain how to do it. Try it. If you get adventuresome, you can also add a layer of scrambled egg cooked in a sheet between the SPAM and the rice and create more of a Japanese "Egg McMuffin".
