Spam Onigirazu
If
you love a popular Hawaiian favorite SPAM® Musubi, you will
LOVE this SPAM® Onigirazu (スパムおにぎらず). The ingredients
are similar to classic musubi; all you need is SPAM® product, rice, and nori
(seaweed) sheet. The biggest difference is that you could add more
fillings in Onigirazu, and today I added lettuce and fried egg to make it
more like a breakfast dish. This combo of
deliciousness is potable and hearty enough to fill a hungry stomach anytime of
the day. You’ll love it for picnic, road trip snack or plane food too!
How To Make Spam Onigirazu
Ingredients
·
6 large eggs
·
1 SPAM® product (7 oz)
·
1 Tbsp neutral flavor oil (vegetable, canola, etc)
·
6 sheets nori (seaweed)
·
3 cups cooked Japanese short grain rice
·
Kosher salt
·
1 Tbsp furikake (rice
seasoning)
·
6 leaves lettuce (I used ice burg lettuce for the
crunch)
Seasonings:
·
1 Tbsp mirin
·
1 Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
1. Gather
all the ingredients.
2. Heat 1
Tbsp. vegetable oil over medium high heat in the frying pan and cook the eggs
as you like. I made the egg “over hard” (over well), which is a fried egg
turned over and cooked until the yolk is solid. Make the eggs in batches if necessary,
and transfer to a plate when they are cooked.
3. Meanwhile
take out the spam from the can and cut into ¼ “ (6 mm) slices. You’ll get about
6-7 slices. Once the eggs are cooked, add the spam slices to the pan and cook
both sides until nicely browned. Transfer the spam slices onto a plate.
4. Turn
down the heat to medium low and add 1 Tbsp. mirin, 1 Tbsp. sake, and 1 Tbsp.
soy sauce. Mix well quickly.
5. Transfer
the spam slices back to the pan and coat well with the sauce.
6. Place a
plastic wrap on a working surface and put a sheet of nori seaweed on top (shiny
side facing down), with a corner pointing up. Evenly spread the steamed rice in
a thin layer and form into a square shape in the center of nori sheet. I’m
using the onigirazu mold (read more about it here).
7. Sprinkle
a little bit of kosher salt and furikake. Salt is added to prevent the food
from spoiling as we eat onigiri, onigirazu, and bento at room temperature and
typically without refrigeration.
8. Place
the fried egg and spam slice on top.
9. Place
the lettuce and thin layer of steamed rice on top, maintaining a nice
rectangular/square shape.
10. Now if
you have an onigirazu mold, pull up the mold carefully. Remember to moist the
“lid” before you press down so rice does not get stuck to it.
11. Bring
left and right corners of nori sheet towards the center. Fold gently but
tightly to wrap around the layers at the center.
12. Then
bring bottom and top corners towards the center. Continue to fold gently but
tightly around the layers. Make sure the rice is tucked in nicely.
13. If you
like your onigirazu to showcase the filling after cutting in half, mark with a
piece of rice or lettuce strip perpendicular to the filling. When you add the
filling, you can decide which way you want to cut so it looks the best when the
ingredients are revealed.
14. Wrap
tightly with plastic wrap. Set aside for 5 minutes with nori’s seam side down.
15. Cut the
onigirazu with a sharp knife (following the mark that tells you which direction
to cut). Run your knife in running water before cutting so that the
cross-section will be clean. If you plan to make this the previous night, wrap
the onigirazu with kitchen towel and keep in the refrigerator overnight. The
towel will prevent the rice from getting hard from the cold temperature. Eat
within 24 hours.
