Description

A fusion delight that combines classic Korean flavors with easy preparation, featuring pan-fried Spam and fresh vegetables wrapped in sushi rice and nori.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 1 can Spam (or turkey Spam/plant-based alternative)
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed sheets)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 English cucumber, julienned
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear.
  2. Cook the rice in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water or simmer in a pot for 15-20 minutes until absorbed, then steam off heat for 10 minutes.
  3. Slice Spam into thin strips and fry in a skillet until crispy, around 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Julienne the carrots and cucumber.
  5. Whisk eggs with salt, then scramble in a greased pan until fully set. Slice into strips.
  6. In a bowl, combine cooked rice with sesame oil and a pinch of salt.
  7. Lay nori on a mat, spread rice evenly, and add Spam, carrots, cucumber, and egg.
  8. Roll nori tightly, sealing the edge with water.
  9. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and garnish with black sesame seeds.

Notes

For a healthier alternative, consider using brown rice or tofu instead of Spam.
