Rolled Spam Musubi

Slice the block of Spam into thick slices, about 1/4 inch each.

In a frying pan over medium heat, pan-fry the Spam slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are slightly crispy and browned.

Remove the cooked Spam from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Once cool enough to handle, cut each Spam slice vertically into 3-4 skinny strips.

Optional: Return the Spam strips to the pan and drizzle with BBQ sauce. Sauté for a minute to coat evenly.

Prepare and cook the white rice according to your usual method, such as in a rice cooker. For extra flavor, you can optionally add dashima kelp to the rice while it cooks.

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with furikake seasoning and mix well to combine.

To assemble, lay a sheet of nori on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the seasoned rice evenly over the nori.

Place a strip of the cooked Spam on top of the rice, near the edge closest to you.

Tightly roll the nori. To help seal the roll, smear a few grains of rice at the far end of the nori sheet to act as glue.

Tuck in the ends of the roll to secure the filling.

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make more rolls.
