Making Spam Musubi with Teriyaki Sauce - In Detail

I put together a presentation of making spam musubi with teriyaki sauce in great detail. My recipe is outlined in slides, and is presented in chronological order. The video includes audio, video, and background music.

The music in the background is Dvorak's Cello Concerto, Op. 104, copyright by Classical.com.

The spam musubi mold I use is from Amazon.com. Here is a link to the item:

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.

@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.

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

@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

[msbobasha]

@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.

@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.

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

[JellyBeanBryant24]

@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 =]

@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.
