SPAM MEALS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut Spam into 10 slices. Fry until slightly crispy. Remove and drain on plate lined with paper towels. In another pan, combine soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low. Add Spam slices, coating them in the mixture. When mixture has thickened, remove Spam from pan.
• Lay a sheet of nori lengthwise on a clean surface. Moisten lower half of musubi maker (see Note), and place on lower third of nori. Fill musubi maker with rice and press flat until the rice is 3/4-inch high. Sprinkle rice with furikake. Top with slice of Spam. Remove musubi maker and keep in a bowl of warm water to keep it clean and moist.
• Starting at the end towards you, fold nori over Spam and rice stack, and keep rolling until completely wrapped in the nori. Slightly dampen the end of the nori to seal it. Repeat with the other nine Spam slices, making sure to rinse off musubi maker after each use to prevent it from getting too sticky.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the Spam and bell peppers. Cook until the Spam becomes crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the whites of the scallions, garlic, ginger and rice. Stir together and cook until the rice begins to crisp and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple, peas, soy, honey and lime juice. Stir together and continue to cook until everything comes together, another minute. Add to a platter and sprinkle over the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.
• For the spicy BBQ aioli: Quickly mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, sesame oil and Asian chile sauce. Drizzle over the fried rice before digging in.
