In Hawaii breakfast often consists of spam, eggs and rice. Here you get it all in one tidy package! A twist on the traditional musubi (recipe, here) this is for you breakfast lovers out there…
ingredients:
1 can Spam
3 cups cooked rice
soy sauce
sugar
5 big sheets of nori (seaweed)
acrylic musubi maker
5 eggs
Open a can of Spam. One can should be able to be cut into 9 slices, pretty evenly. Some people try and get ten, but I like to make the spam a little thicker for more taste.
Place the cut slices in a pan – drizzle with soy sauce, and sprinkle liberally with sugar. Turn over and do the same to the other side. NOW turn the pan on to medium high heat.
I like to cook it until the sugar gets good and caramelized and you get a nice sticky teriyaki color on the outside. Turn them to make sure the other side cooks the same. Take them out of the pan and set them aside.
In a separate pan, on medium high heat, scramble and cook the eggs into an omelet consistency.
Now you’ll need a musubi maker. If you don’t live in Hawaii, you’re in luck, now you can buy them online!
Get the large sheets of nori and lay one down. Put the musubi maker on top, and add a layer of rice.
On top of that add the spam, and then the egg. Add a second layer of rice on top of everything.
Using the top press (wet it to avoid sticking) press down on the rice mixture.
Fold over the bottom half of the nori, then wetting the top edge of the top half, fold that over to stick.
Cut them in fourths for smaller servings or just cut them in two and eat them as a whole block!











These are just too cute. What a great meal idea.
YUMMYYYYYY! I’m drooling over these! They look so good!
Look awesome! Thank you for the great recipes.
I am hoping to make them for a party, but how far in advance do you make them? I’m afraid that the nori would get too soft.
@Jaclyn It’s best to make them the day of the party. The rice can get hard if kept in the fridge.
