SPAM MUSUBI

5 cups Cal-Rose short grain type rice
12 oz can Spam
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 garlic clove, mashed
Furikake nori
6 sheets musubi nori

Cook rice and allow to steam, then cool. Cut Spam into 12 slices,
1/4 inch thick. Cook in mixture of sugar, soy sauce and garlic.
Set aside. Cut nori in half width-wise (so you get a wide piece
versus a thin, narrow piece). Set aside.

Using a spam musubi press, place a piece of nori on a plate.
Position musubi press on top so the length of the press is in the
middle of the nori (width-wise). The press and the width of the
nori should fit exactly the length of a slice of Spam! Add rice
so it fills half of the press. Press down with the flat part of
the press to compact the rice. Sprinkle furikake nori then add a
piece of Spam. Cover with more rice. Compact the rice again.
Remove from the press by pushing the whole stack down while lifting
off the press. Then fold nori over.

You can also add a thin slice of egg omelet in the center or little
bits of pickled ginger. Can also be made with teriyaki chicken if
you're not a Spam lover.
