Ingredients

4cup Cooked Sushi RiceSee notes for recipe
6tbsp Furikake
2sheet Roasted NoriCut into 1 inch thick strips
2can SpamI recommend lower sodium
1tbsp Canola Oil
Teriyaki SauceOptional, to serve

Instructions

Mix the furikake with the sushi rice and set aside.
Put the small cookie cutter through your Spam to get a cylinder. Cut the cylinder into 6 disks. You can use the rectangular leftover pieces to make the traditional Spam musubi. The bits and pieces can be used for what ever your heart desires.
Over medium heat, add the Canola oil and sear both side to get a crunch (2-3 minutes on each side).
In the bigger cookie cutter, fill the bottom 1/3 with rice. Place spam on top and fill with rice (make sure to press down tight on the sides).
Wrap the nori around the rice and you’re done.

Recipe Notes

Modifications to the sushi rice:

Make the rice on the sweeter side (3-5 tbsp pf sugar)
Wash the rice three times only (The starch will allow the rice to hold together)

My cookie cutters were 2 1/2 Inches and 3 1/4 Inches

Searing the onigiri: brush both sides with sesame oil and place it into a pan over low-medium heat. When the grains take on a charred appearance, flip and repeat (3-5 minutes on each side).
