Protein Spam and Egg Musubi

Yield: 9 musubi. Each has about 38 g turkey SPAM, 45 g cooked rice and one ninth of the egg batch.

Here’s my turkey SPAM and egg musubi: savory slices, cooked egg and rice wrapped in nori. This batch makes nine. ✌️

WHAT IS SPAM and EGG MUSUBI?

Musubi is a Hawaiian snack that combines Asian and American influences. Often compared to a sushi roll, Spam musubi is a perfect on-the-go meal or a tasty addition to a picnic. This recipe calls for just a few ingredients—Spam, eggs, rice, and nori.

INGREDIENTS

Turkey Spam: I use one 12 oz (340 g) can of Oven Roasted Turkey Spam, cut into nine slices. I wash and dry the empty can to shape the musubi.

Egg Beaters: I use 400 g of carton egg whites for the whole batch, then divide the cooked egg into nine portions.

Salt: To season the eggs.

Nori sheets: I cut three full-size sheets into thirds to make nine strips. I use this one.

White rice: Have 405 g of cooked white rice ready and use 45 g in each musubi.

Add 400 g of carton egg whites to the pan and season lightly with salt.

Cut three full-size nori sheets into thirds to make nine strips.

STEP 7

Flip the container upside down onto the center of the nori. Then, lift the Spam container so that the egg, spam, and rice are stacked.
