So
Phenomenal and
Awesome
Marc!
Honestly, there was no way we were getting this posted without a SPAM joke. But all joking aside, SPAM has never looked this good before. Marc (one of our favorite FreshJax Friends) combined Bachan's Japanese BBQ Sauce (which we love) with a rice patty made with our NEW SHICHIMI TOGARASHI JAPANESE 7-SPICE.
Absolute Magic!

"I couldn't think of a better way to use the newly released @freshjax Shichimi Togarashi than on one of my favorite snacks, @spam musubi! And using @trybachans for even more layers of flavor on top of that! A very easy to make salty and savory treat, but with a little added kick from the seasoning. Makes me feel like I'm back in Hawaii!

Ingredients
-
1 can SPAM, sliced into 6 slices (save the empty can)
-
1/2 cup Japanese BBQ or teriyaki sauce (can be homemade)
-
2 tbsp. olive oil
-
2 cups sushi rice, cooked per instructions on the bag
-
FreshJax Shichimi Togarashi
-
1 sheet nori (seaweed) paper, divided into 6 equal strips
Directions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan to medium-high heat, pour in olive oil, and brown the SPAM slices for 2-3 minutes a side.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the BBQ sauce, flipping the SPAM slices to ensure they are well coated.
Turn off the heat and leave the SPAM in the sauce in the pan as it cools.
Using a musubi mold (or the empty SPAM can), place 3 tbsp. of cooked sushi rice inside and compact it well inside the mold.
Season the bed of rice with Shichimi Togarashi and place a slice of SPAM on top.
Add more seasoning if you like and place an additional 3 tbsp of rice on top of the SPAM, compacting it again to form the top layer.
Push the musubi out of the mold over a strip of nori and fold the nori over the top, wetting the edges with a little water to get them to stick together.
Repeat for all slices of SPAM and enjoy!
Recipe Note
We weren't familiar with Musubi before seeing this recipe, but we found an AWESOME BLOG about what to pair with it.
It has so many new (to us) ideas: Pineapple Coleslaw, Hawaiian Macaroni Salad, Mayo Wasabi, and Gochugaru Glazed Onigri... Woah!
