Spam Musubi

Spam musubi is a popular snack and lunch food in Hawaii that combines sliced grilled spam with rice, wrapped in nori seaweed. This simple yet delicious food has its origins in both Asian and American cuisine.

The History Behind Spam Musubi

During World War II, canned spam became a dietary staple in Hawaii due to shortages of fresh meat. At the same time, the large population of Japanese Americans in Hawaii was accustomed to onigiri – balls of rice wrapped in nori. After the war, Hawaiian locals started putting slices of spam on top of the rice and wrapping it in nori, creating an island twist on a Japanese favorite. The concept spread rapidly and became a mainstream snack all over Hawaii by the 1960s.

The name “spam musubi” comes from the Japanese word musubi, referring to the act of tying or binding something together. The sliced spam literally binds the rice and nori together into a portable, tasty treat.

How to Make Classic Spam Musubi

Making your own spam musubi at home is easy and fun. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of spam
  • 1 cup uncooked short grain Japanese rice
  • Rice vinegar
  • Soy sauce
  • Nori sheets
  • Salt

Steps:

  1. Cook the rice either in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Slice the can of spam into 1/4 inch thick slices and cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a cutting board or clean work surface. Spread rice evenly over the nori, leaving about a 1/2 inch border at the top. Sprinkle lightly with rice vinegar and soy sauce.
  4. Place a slice of cooked spam horizontally across the bottom 1/3 of the rice.
  5. Using the bamboo rolling mat, tightly roll up the spam and rice, sealing the flap of nori at the end.
  6. Slice musubi roll into individual portions using a sharp, wet knife. Serves 3-4.

Enjoy this taste of Hawaii anytime for lunch, a snack or appetizer. Experiment with different spam flavors or ingredients like egg, avocado or pickled vegetables wrapped inside.
