Method
step 1
Remove the Spam from the can and cut into six slices lengthways. Reserve the can to use as a mould later, if you like.
step 2
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the Spam slices for 4 mins on each side until turning golden.
step 3
Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce, mirin and brown sugar together. When the Spam slices are cooked, pour the soy sauce mixture over them and fry for another minute on each side until coated in the sauce. Leave to cool slightly.
step 4
Line the reserved Spam can with cling film (or use a musubi mould). Spoon a few tablespoons of the cooked rice inside, then put one cooked Spam slice on top. Press down lightly and remove from the mould. Repeat with the remaining rice and Spam slices.
step 5
Cut the nori sheets into strips and wrap these around the middles of each musubi before serving.
