Spam and Egg Breakfast Onigirazu Recipe

This recipe assumes that cooked, steamed rice is already available. If not, cook 1 cup of uncooked rice to yield 3 cups cooked rice.

Crack egg and scramble in a bowl. In a small non-stick frypan, heat canola oil over high heat and add the egg. Fold over to make a small squarish omelet. Set omelet aside.

In a small non-stick frypan, cook Spam slice until golden brown.

Optionally, make a quick teriyaki sauce by mixing equal parts soy sauce and white sugar until incorporated. Drizzle sauce over cooked Spam slice. If you prefer, the seasoned the Spam may be cooked for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.​

On a dry cutting board, lay a large piece of plastic wrap down. Place dried seaweed down on top of the plastic wrap, place about 1/3 cup cooked rice in the center of the rice in a diamond shape. Sprinkle roasted white sesame seeds over the rice.

Lay the egg omelet and SPAM on top of the rice, then add a top layer of cooked rice, just enough to cover the onigirazu fillings. Close the onigirazu by folding in the ends of the dried seaweed to form a flat, square rice ball.

Slice the onigirazu in half with the plastic wrap still on, which makes it easier to handle. Or, don't slice it at all and take it with you on the go!
