Making Of The Spam Musubi

[catbug666]

he by didn't past out the fumes when opening can?.

[bjklumpp]

I really enjoyed your video. I love spam and I have a friend that lives in HI (I'm in Houston, Texas) that mentioned this to me so naturally I searched for some information on it and found your tutorial. I love how you used the spam can to make the mold. I'm going to have to try this soon!

[kalaekoa]

instead of frying the spam, try boiling it in a pot with half and half water n shoyu (soy sauce), and lots of sugar for a about 10 minutes. The spam will be a lot better.

[123emyeuanh]

OMG!! I love your tutorial!! So simple and easy to understand!! :D :D :D

I am going to make this for my friend on her birthday!! My only problem is that I don't know how to make sticky rice. -____- I only know how to make regular rice. Dx

[singleguychef]

@123emyeuanh You don't need to make sticky rice. You just need to use sushi rice, the short grain. Cook it the same way you cook regular rice.

[x3linhvuonggg]

did you put in any oil or something before you put the spam on to fry?

[singleguychef]

@x3linhvuonggg I used a non-stick skillet and with SPAM, it gives off enough fat. But if you want you can put just a tad, like half a tablespoon. I wouldn't put a lot.

[PapaVic9758]

Pan-fry caramelizing makes all the difference!

[0347Pmauleon]

can you use normal white rice instead of using sushi rice?

[singleguychef]

@0347Pmauleon Sushi rice is a bit more sticky and will hold together better. I woudn't recommend normal white rice because it'll fall apart.

[tausamoa]

@0347Pmauleon yes u can u need to use oil or vegi oil for it

[0347Pmauleon]

uhmmm, can you use normal white rice instead of using sushi rice???

[missueyee]

@0347Pmauleon

If you use white rice, just add some rice vinegar to it so that it would become sticky!

voila!

[BeAllLabel]

@0347Pmauleon It won't stick together so I'd say no. 

[GodsBurden]

I love spam musubi, i'm actually gonig to write an article on it for my website.

[IEatedYourMuffin]

im flagging this for spam!! >=U

ps. (just a joke)

[SPSCrazyzz]

wait, wasn't there supposed to be some kind of sauce in it?

[SeekerScorpio]

I never thought of using the container as a molding device for the rice! Good shit.

[0347Pmauleon]

this brings back memories. :D my cousin made them for us when we went to raging waters. She came from Hawaii too :) but we're filipino :D

[TheIndustrialrocker]

Best thing in the world. I love spam.

[TumblrBree]

all u simply do is lear your spam down. lear.........lllleeeaarrrr XDDDDD

[pkmnTrainerBoo]

some rice ball, it's a regtalngel! lol

[JoeLikesBeer]

Easier just to roll the rice and spam in the nori sushi-roll style then cut in half. Holds together better that way too and makes a nice portable snack.

[alexjake56]

all it is pork shoulder

[xXChineseBoiXx]

@alexjake56 lol this is for you and all other people who read this. spam is made with all the left over parts of the pig. .. that they dont need :D

[momajoy951]

ty. good instructions. I was brought up to cook Polish and Russian food. My son-in-law's family have a house in hawaii and while I visit, we eat spam different ways. I am lucky to be able to join and eat turkey spam because i cannot tolerate pork. Today, I was looking for a video to make the rice shiny. I am trying to use sugar and vinegar method. However from you, I appreciate the idea to put water into the mold. That I will do today. ありがとう

[joshman144]

lol i broke my can opener cutting bottom out and the jaged edges sliced me when i was makeing it but other then that hell yeah it was amazing omg with a little soy sauce to dip it in mmmmmmmm

[cherry141707]

@casualthug07 Dude u can fry without oil! Its called nonstick pan? And garlic salt? U serious? Its spam! its salty enough!

[aeee0]

It looks ... Like a gigantic sushi:)))))

[KylenneLupo]

i like your fridge.

[EmerlyLynnLuangrath]

Why would you want to add oil to the pan? The spam fries in its own fat.

[TechnoNeotorand]

im a chef and you cant pan fry with out oil! duhhhh! your just like grilling it with out a griddle pan!

[TwoKidsVsWilderness]

My favourite spam disshhh ?? The Spamwich :)

[harki575]

Why do u put the opener in the sink?

[casualthug07]

dude, really? you fry your spam on a dry ass pan with no oil or seasoning?

PUT SOME OIL IN YOUR PAN AND SPRINKLE A LITTLE PEPPER AND GARLIC SALT ON IT BEFORE YOU FRY PEOPLE...

[XxStorefrontx]

@casualthug07 Spam is already pretty salty, plus he was using marinated rice, this makes a really good musabi actually

[furiousajp]

@casualthug07 Spam is already seasoned, hence the name spiced ham, so you really shouldn't a garlic salt. Also, you don't need oil, even in a nonstick pan, because spam already has a lot of fat and oil in it and unless you cook it too long it won't stick. If you're going to comment about something, you should know what you're talking about.

[weirdjaja]

what do you do after you make it? do you heat it in the microwave, toaster or what? and how do you make the sushi nori soft?

[singleguychef]

@weirdjaja I keep it in the refrigerator although it can be kept outside for a day. When I want to eat it, I bring it out of frig and let it get to room temperature. Nori gets soft with the moisture of the heat of the rice, so sometimes to keep it crispy I wait till the rice cools or I wrap it at the last minute before I eat it.

[gordonpimple]

hawaiian spam mmmmmmm...........

[thelastmike]

One of my roommates in college was from hawaii and his mom used to send mosubi in care packages. mmmmmmmmmmmm, good!

He also introduced me to the joys of a rice cooker.

Thanks for showing the trick of using the can to shape it.

I always wondered how his mom got the shape so perfect.

Hers weren't cooked of course.

But we used to constantly cook whatever cheap, greasy, meat-type-product the local supermarket would provide to eat with our rice.

Makes my mouth water to think about it.

Thanks for vid

[NickJayKay]

Just made this, and it was great!

[iKillzm]

Ahhh i love putting spam in my saimen

[princessofmusic95]

Mmm that looks really neat and yummy! Thanks for the molding tip. :) my spam musubi I use oyster sauce and teriyaki sauce while frying it in a pan with a bit of oil so it wouldn't be too dry and then I sprinkle a bit of sesame seeds mixed with tiny bits of seaweed and then I wrap it :)

[kunoichiOneX]

. . .i swear to God. this is making me wanna go to 7-11 to pick up some musubis.

[willfullyobscure]

you can use a sharp chef's knife or a cleaver to cut the bottom of the can off in a fell swoop. its soft steel and won't damage your blade at all. poke the tip in and pull hard all the way around. bottom of the can will be SHARP, tho.

[juns1992]

Lol is that a test tube holder that you are using to flip the spam?

[TanaDOSAGE1]

you should a little bit of oil so it

won't burn as much.

[futuredirectorwanna]

@TanaDOSAGE1 I tastes etter when its buned alittle imo

[LessonComplex]

someone help this looks so delicious where can i buy it :(

[Peidmonte89]

I just fry it in the pan on both sides till its golden brown and then eat it. Tastes like ham and pork chops smacked together. Pretty good!

[trainofaaron]

Spam, eggs, and rice yumm

[timjo13]

How can I make spam from scratch?

[singleguychef]

@timjo13 why would you? Is it hard to find Spam where you are? It's sold in almost every supermarket in the United States in the canned meats section. I don't think you'd want to make it your own. Then it wouldn't be SPAM.

[Stickmansomlet]

The key is there to open the can, the can is there to hold in the spam!!

[ichipsXD]

lol no offense but you say musubi kinda funny XD

[turtlejoy4ever]

oh my gosh! spam can= genius!

[swampzoid]

Pam smells like sneeze.

[andagii]

@swampzoid You have smelled sneeze?

[cthulhu11111111]

spam spam spam spam

spam spam spam spam

Lovely spam

spam in a pan

[therealneon]

SO THESE ARE BASICALLY HUGEASS SPAM SUSHI ROLLS?

[gotVTECyo]

you must eat spam musubis with sriracha hot sauce

[wackyruss]

Only crazy Japanese Hawaiians would come up with such a wacky dish!

[clayludicrous]

@wackyruss Eh, ... No tease us!! Da buggah ono, and you no have to be Japanese Hawaiian for enjoy 'um! :P

[andagii]

@wackyruss It's delicious and it's because people here couldn't get a hold of better meat during WW2, I believe? Or something like that. But hey, it tastes good so....

[ngu0029]

yum.

[punaboy12]

woo yeah!! musubi!!!! hooooooahhh!!!!

[ectyka]

Nice vid... I can eat spam right out of da can(sliced up)... It's pretty good wit some hot rice... Lol dats jus me tho...

[omnibus18carlo]

This video made me hungry :)

[stwartfan123]

haha, "Spam, America's favorite lunchmeat!" right...I'm American, and I can't say I've ever had spam before...and I don't know anyone who likes it...just sayin'.

[gimmepb]

I love Spam musubi

If you live in O'ahu, Hawaii go to pearlridge in the food court the japanese restaraunt, the spam musubi is good xDDDD

[broad100]

Great job on the video! Much appreciated!

[buzzkiller97]

count how many times he says musubi

[illinifan512]

Would you ever recommend cooking spam in a toaster oven?

[singleguychef]

@illinifan512 I guess that would work. A toaster oven would be more like broiling the spam, which will still get some of the fat to caramelize. I just can't get past eating Spam straight out of the can.

[MrKissmeimirish]

i used to live in Hawwaii. in fact i had Sapm Musabi for dinner last night

[p0p0ringo]

see that nice brown color.......... more like burnt...

[xthatlittleTANgirlx]

DAMN that's one big sushhhi

[MrRoydizzleable]

when you fried the spam did you use oil or anything like that?

[singleguychef]

@MrRoydizzleable I used a non-stick pan so didn't really need oil. Sometimes I might but a little bit just to get it started, like maybe a teaspoon of oil. Otherwise, the Spam has oil that comes out and creates the caramlization when rendering some of the fat out. I wouldn't use a lot of oil, if any.

[ripstikgod]

The can is very hard to cut on the bottom part. Do you have any tips?

[singleguychef]

@ripstikgod I know what you mean. I had a hard time too. But the thing is the can is pretty light weight, so if you use a hand-held can opener and make that first puncture, then it's not too bad from there on. Patience is the key.

[silentduke25]

im so hungry !!!!!!1111

[silentduke25]

spam me !!!!!!!!!!1 o.0

[angus244]

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM.

[RETROGAMER43]

When the spam came off the can, it looked like a Watermelon Flavored Starburst.

[kanokon1991]

OMG OMG OMG !!!.. U ROCK !!!

you make me hungry now.. T^T

u guys should try Musubi@ Foodland !! It's way nice as well!!!!

thanks for sharing !!

[natumi810]

美味そう^^

箸を使わないのがガイジンっぽい

[imgordonfreeman]

am i the only one to think spam tastes good as it is?

[kaede103084]

caramelized spam + rice + runny fried egg

[DennisR808]

Waipahu RULES!!!

[neolookmiu]

Using the can as a rice molder is smart. I will try that, thank you!

[thehawaiian96792]

In some parts in the main land. . . Oops I mean America (sry Hawaiian talk) they don't even know u can cook spam. They just eat right out of the can

[ChinkeeWinkee]

dang.. the rice is so thick LOL

[shadow808cool]

sushi rice is not the same as the rice in spam musubi.

[supportourtroops2010]

i live in maui and me and my girlfriend love spam musubi

[lovekitty55]

woah those are huge!

[10011000p]

This will be good lunch for my next camping trip.

[TherealJenny82]

I love the idea to use the spam container. Thanks!

[motormusic1]

Fried Spam and Egg Toasties with Brown Sauce (or chilli!)

YUMMY !!!

[Yggdrasill4]

Spam Musubi is good if you also add a layer of egg mixed with sesame oil.

[AlohaMaggieSteele]

I dont like spam but I do love spam musubi! if you havent had one, your missing out!

[Seantendo]

I need to try this ASAP!

[points2shopPROOF]

gawd i love spam :P

[mamajama8]

damn helllaaa rice

[msthaiii]

i enjoyed watching this video.. and i loved how the rice vinegar totally missed the screen lol good video, very helpful

[mistyaqua]

Just a note about the rice: When making any sort of Japanese-style dish, I use Calrose Rice (Botan Brand). Wash the rice until the water runs clear. I do this in the insert that goes in my rice maker, but use a separate bowl if you are going to cook the rice in a pot. The rice comes out best when I use 1 and 1/2 cups rice and 2 cups water. When it finishes cooking, I add 1/4 a cup of rice wine vinegar.

6 parts of rice to 8 parts water and 1 part of Rice Wine Vinegar is the correct proportion.

[cannedmonicasoup]

WHAT ARE YOU DOIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG?!

DONT MAKE IT SUMESHI

AND YOU NEED THE SHOYUTARE!!!!!!

[Murcielago247]

AWESOME VIDEO LOL SPAM FTW

[keriannelove]

Thanks it helped a lot! :3

[LonewolfSaichi]

Also, thank you for showing some idiots that you actually need to cook this stuff.

[LonewolfSaichi]

Thank you for this! 808 FTW! Spam FTW! Spam Musubi all day! Chee!

[iMoreAsianR]

if u live in hawaii and no more musubi maker, FML moment

[HAYRIPITIR1]

where is  the soy sauce

[dizlilazngurl]

is it okay to use regular white rice?

[706221]

Brah dis n Spam n eggs are The BESt!

[Islandgeckojamz]

Awesome vid! ono ono!

[supitstom]

It's just easier to eat rice with spam but oh well nice vid

[ScholarlySquirrel]

spam is unholy O.o

[Alexanderbomb]

spams good

[wc3nExiZi]

there us suppose to be a gourmet sauce added on to the rice.

its similar to teriyaki

[Vanessawwefan]

i love spam musubi!! thxx sir!!!

[initialdluvr]

that looks soooo goood. =]]

but thats too much work for me to do all that. id rather go with spam and rice and some seaweed. . haha lazy me

[Nevada2444]

Have you ever like woken up halfway through a youtube video thinking... "How the HELL did i end up wwatching this?"

[paintballkidd07]

@Nevada2444 hahahaha its 1am and im learning how to make food that i probably wouldnt ever ea

[paintballkidd07]

@Nevada2444 Hahaha its 1am and im learning how to make something im not even interested in.

[JnJPersonXD]

i don't even use one spam can, i have a mold to make dah'musubis :)

heeeck, i just eat spam, rice & shoyu ! :D

buy musubis at 711 or something li'daht.

no need work for 'ehm xD

[knuckleupjonez]

that was mad thick.i wouldnt eat it that thick.

[alexgao814]

just add egg and spam 1 meal down

[FuckUSAEmpire]

It is thy spam

Yet, it is delightful

How can it be?

[GrampaMikeOC]

Yeah, the traditional recipe is just plain rice as far as I know. But I like to spice the rice up a tiny bit when making musubi since the Spam can take it. Boy, now I'm hungry!

[GrampaMikeOC]

Using the Spam can as a mold for the Musubi rice is BRILLIANT! Thanks for that! Don't you add any sugar to your sushi rice?

[singleguychef]

I've never heard of sushi. I put rice vinegar, which people complain about because they say that's more for making sushi and not a musubi. They say musubi rice should just be seasoned with a pinch of salt.

[WataAtaCrackah]

@singleguychef because we add shoyu (soy sauce) to it. A pinch of salt would make it even saltier and no one really likes ultra salty foods

[axxo702]

OMG this is just what I need!

Something appetizing and not the same fucking food over and over and over again..

[boxzila]

This is soooo Awesome!

[SpamThisPage]

Me loves teh Spam!!

[buzzkiller98]

I dont like the taste of the original spam but I like the hot and spicy spam it is actually quite nice if you take it camping on the trail

[videoman223]

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAMMITY SPAMM SPAMITY SPAMMMMMM! Lmfaoooo i hate this stuff

[odv000]

i have a lot of it

if you need it post your email and i can send all my spam to you ;-)

[moniker127]

I hadnt had spam since i was a little kid, but i had it yesterday, and i actually kinda like it. When i opened the can and smelled it i immediately remembered what it tastes like.

[annbomb]

using the can is a super genius idea!! except im too scared to cut the other end out because its gonna be sharp :X so ill just pack the rice in and slam the fucker out of there XD!!! thanks for the great tip <3

[makulitnabutch]

u sound gay. hehe... ryt on..

[ceeIoc]

why not just eat rice and spam? too much trouble to pack it up into a roll

[That1sushidude]

thats what i do all the time.

[annbomb]

@ceeIoc its like a stuffed onigiri and i guess a huge piece of sushi. and when i was younger my dad use to make them as a home lunch. so its portable.

[ceeIoc]

yea I didnt think of the portability. You have a point there. But at home, its just rice, spam, and eggs.

[xxxlancealotxxx]

@ceeIoc its for a bento

[Quartrez]

@ceeIoc Why the f*ck bother cooking spam ? Just eat it raw. It's not like you'll die or anything.

[kilasandra]

@ceeIoc totally different. The seaweed, soysauce and sugr make for a delightful different flavor. Also, loose rice and spam isn't that portable.

[lordrath2000]

@ceeIoc

It's so you can eat it later as a nice hand-held snack.

[thehawaiian96792]

@ceeIoc Actually u can eat the spam and rice separate but if your a lazy ass who wants to eat them together at the same time then make a musubi lol

[Maethirion]

@thehawaiian96792 Umm, no, You're saying that a lazy person would make spam onigiri because their too lazy to eat it separate. That makes no sense. This is a pretty traditional dish tying in a Japanese dish with a Hawaiian(?) twist. A person who makes this is not lazy. A person who eats just spam and rice is the lazy ass.

[xLenchanko]

@ceeIoc Don't taste as good, thats why. XD

[furiousajp]

@ceeIoc Not as portable, or fun.

[JaeBallet]

last time i saw spam. right now. Im eating it. I pop it into a mini oven. I like it crunchy. My bro likes it half cooked

[GorkYodol]

please dont SPAM!

[Corestore16]

"America's favorite lunchmeat" More like Hawaii's favorite haha - it's all over there but pretty much never eaten in the mainland, (unless spam is your thing)

[chefkoo]

I like to boil it first to get rid of alot of the salt first. Then I fry it

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

Cuisine.

Yes I used two different comments because they should never be associated together

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

Spam

[simulbee]

NOM NOM NOM NOM

[CapoeiraFighter88]

Gracias!! you da man

[m1nd0r]

WHY THEY CALL IT SPAM??!?!?

[ONIXG224]

Beacouse it is Spam.

[jezzdkewl1]

@m1nd0r : It was originally called "Hormel Spiced Ham" so to shorten it they called it SPAM.

[poepoelaa]

good video! i prefer the spam sandwiched between 2 layers of rice instead of on top, spam fried in teriyaki sauce, with a nori sheet wrapped around the full length of the musubi. lol crazy tasty!

[boylajarra1985]

spam is fuckin mingin'

[PS2SLUT]

I have 2 cans of spam in my kitchen & it's all mine hahaha!!!!

[baozeng]

wow

great video ever

thank you so much

[aDance2Die2]

How do I make the rice? I'm asking here before I google.

[singleguychef]

Oh, that's kind of hard to explain if you're making it for the first time. I have a rice cooker so it's super easy just adding the rice and the amount of water noted on the cooker. But if you don't have one, you'll just need a pot and sushi-grade rice (short grain) and the old trick is to put in the rice and then fill water so it covers about a quarter inch layer over the rice. Then bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and let it simmer until it's cooked. About 30 minutes for a cup.

[aDance2Die2]

Groovy, thanks.

[InvalidAuthorization]

@singleguychef easier way to cook rice, short grain rice, is 1 cup of water for 1 cup of uncooked rice. So if you have 3 cups of rice, it needs 3 cups of water. put that in the rice cooker and your rice comes out perfect every time.

[Tmilicus]

I am going to try this today. I don't know though, that seems like a whole lot of rice to eat with my spam :b

[shockermethod]

i make these almost everyday. make sure to crisp that spam !

[aDance2Die2]

Yeah, his was a little on the thicker side, lol.  But it's all good.

[vegetablesoupify]

Oh god. I love spam! *drools* Hell yeah, go to dollar general and fill up a cart with that stuff. Good thing is most dollar generals have some snazzy stuff to make even more food ( both spam and non-spam alike )

[sancheetoTV]

I don't even know how I ended up watching this video, but that looks pretty damn appetizing!

[xLSDxUCSB]

good job dude!!

[magmagmag715]

using the spam can is a brilliant idea. thanks for the tip! btw, don't you have to apply some eel sauce between the spam and rice for better taste? i was surprised you didn't use any sauce..

[jadedforlyfe]

mmm now i feel compelled to go eat.
