Best 4 Spam Sushi Hand Roll Recipes

TEMAKI SUSHI (HAND ROLL)

Steps:

• If your raw fish comes as a block, slice the raw fish into long sticks. Or you can ask a fish monger at a Japanese grocery store to cut the raw fish for Temaki Sushi. They will cut fish into long sticks, instead of sashimi-style cut.
• Right before you start eating, cut the nori in half (restaurant-style) or quarter (home-style; makes 40 taco-style rolls) and keep it in the bag as it becomes stale easily.
• Prepare sushi rice, ingredients, nori sheet (seaweed) at the table.
• Before you start, make sure your hands are dry in order to keep nori dry and crispy. Place the seaweed on the palm of your hand (shiny side down) and put a thin layer of rice on left third of nori. If you're using a ¼ sheet of nori, then put the rice and filling in the center and roll up the sides like taco.
• Place fillings (shiso leaf, cucumber, raw fish and daikon radish sprouts) vertically across middle of the rice.
• Fold the bottom left corner of nori over and begin rolling into a cone shape.
• Keep rolling until a cone shape is formed. Put a piece of rice at the bottom right corner to use as glue and close tightly. Continue with the other half of the nori.
• Serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce as condiments.

SPAM SUSHI MAKI ROLLS

Steps:

• Place sheet of nori on bamboo mat and align with edge nearest you.
• Using a moistened hand, spread about 3/4-1 cup of rice evenly over 5 x 8-inch area leaving 2 inches nori at the far end. Using a knife, spread a light layer of mayo on the rice surface. If adding wasabi, spread a light layer now.
• Arrange cucumber stick(s) 1 inch from edge nearest you, followed by Spam strip(s). Lift mat with thumbs; keep cucumber and meat in place with fingers, and roll mat over meat and away from you.
• When mat touches the rice, lift mat and continue to roll as you would for a jelly roll. Roll again in mat and apply slight pressure to tighten roll.
• To serve, cut each roll into eight pieces. Arrange sushi slices on platter, cut side up.
• I like to just sprinkle a dash of Maggi seasoning sauce onto each sushi, rather than dipping the entire thing in soy sauce, but the choice is yours!
• Enjoy!

SPAM MUSUBI

Steps:

• Soak uncooked rice for 4 hours; drain and rinse.
• In a saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar, and set aside to cool.
• In a separate bowl, stir together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Slice luncheon meat lengthwise into 10 slices, or to desired thickness, and marinate in sauce for 5 minutes.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Cook slices for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Cut nori sheets in half and lay on a flat work surface. Place a rice press in the center of the sheet, and press rice tightly inside. Top with a slice of luncheon meat, and remove press. Wrap nori around rice mold, sealing edges with a small amount of water. (Rice may also be formed by hand in the shape of the meat slices, 1 inch thick.) Musubi may be served warm or chilled.
