Making Spam Musubi with Teriyaki Sauce - In Detail

[rtyui91]

i watch food videos like this to get hungry when the food i have isnt so good

[tanyyyakicks]

This was such a great instructional video. Thank you ! XD

If you don't want to go through the trouble of making the teriyaki sauce, you can substitute with eel sauce. I find the Kikkoman Sushi Sauce works well with spam musubi.

is it alright if we just use rice vinegar for the teriyaki?

[ZephyrRunner4]

@JellyBeanBryant24 I've never tried using the rice vinegar to make teriyaki sauce... If you do use rice vinegar, the taste and the consistency of the sauce might change. Rice vinegar is mainly used for making sushi rice.

@ZephyrRunner4 ohh thank you sir, i just bought mirin today does it matter what kinko man sauce i use? and i added 3 tablespoons of sugar >< , 2 made mines taste a bit salty but thank you =]

@JellyBeanBryant24 I would not recommend substituting rice wine vinegar, which is or course sour, for Mirin which is sweet Japanese cooking sake. You can find Mirin at any major grocery store in the Asian food section just like you would find cooking Sherry or Marsala.

@simsrockdontgetmewro I don't add the sauce to the spam, so I just fry the spam. A traditional recipe adds a soy sauce-sugar mixture to the spam before cooking, and you would have to caramelize it then.

Excellent instructional video, thanks much for posting! And thanks for the high quality, also. There were other vids, but they were barely visible.

[MrRanDay]

that spam looks fucking uncooked. nasty

[ZephyrRunner4]

@MrRanDay Technically Spam comes already cooked in the can. Cooking it more would probably burn it... I'll agree that the camera makes it look uncooked, though.

@ZephyrRunner4 I actually like adding the teriyaki ingredients directly to the pan while cooking the spam. As long as you don't have the heat very high the result will be beautifully browned spam with lots of carmalization and crispy edges which I think is key to making really good spam musubi. It also saves you the step of precooking to thicken the sauce. Since a lot of the sauce soaks into the spam while cooking it, the spam itself is less messy to work with as well.

@msbobasha I've actually realized that after making this video, but then I got lazy and started using eel sauce for its sweeter taste when making spam musubi; I should try cooking the spam with a homemade teriyaki sauce on low heat sometime

Best Instructions ever. Great Job!

[Berkana]

Wow. This is easily the most meticulous and highest standard Spam musubi recipe I've yet seen. Bravo.

[ZephyrRunner4]

The soaking of the rice can be reduced to 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes... I tested it out earlier today.

@ZephyrRunner4

is this "sauce" also known as gourmet sauce??

cause my mom ran out of the sauce and we cant find it anymore so im trying to look for a way to actually make it.

[ZephyrRunner4]

@wc3nExiZi What I use here is a basic teriyaki sauce. There's nothing gourmet about it, just because I only use sugar, soy sauce, and mirin. There are many recipes to follow in making gourmet teriyaki sauce. Recently, I've used eel sauce that is mainly used for sushi, but it works for spam musubi too.

[wc3nExiZi]

@ZephyrRunner4

oh yeah.

i remember my mom mentioning about that eel sauce. well thanks for the tip :)

[FJCLUB]

ah, I liked it. Now get cracking on that babinka video.

[Bryno21]

soooo helpful. I've been looking for an instructional video for the longest time
