This tennis snack is ideal – the savory funkiness of the gochujang is perfectly balanced with a touch of spiciness and salt, ideal for refueling after a tennis match.  I love introducing SPAM musubi to my Texas friends! I'm crossing my fingers that this flavor becomes a staple!

Ingredients

1. Fresh cooked rice 
2. SPAM - 1 can (my favorite flavors are the new Korean BBQ and Gochujang) sliced
3. Nori
4. Cucumbers (if you want a crunch of freshness) Korean Spicy Cucumber / Sides / Recipes | Cooking with Aloha, Texas Style (cooking-with-aloha-texas-style.com)
5. I wanted to see how the Korean BBQ flavor works in my smoker.  It's awesome, just shred it and smoke for about 15 minutes and pan fry it.  It also allows for extra meat filling instead of traditional slices, if you are really hungry :-).  

Directions

1. Cook rice as much as you like Pressure cook Brown and White rice for lower carbs / Helpful Hacks | Cooking with Aloha, Texas Style (cooking-with-aloha-texas-style.com)
2. Add sliced SPAM to frying pan over medium heat.  2 slices fit my musubi mold, there are single molds available.
3. Cook until crispy and golden brown and remove from heat, about 3 minutes per side.
4. Wet musubi mold with water to prevent rice from sticking
5. Add thin layer of hot cooked rice.
6. Press rice firmly
7. Add crispy SPAM layer (and cucumber or scrambled egg, endless options)
8. Add rice to cover SPAM and press firmly.
9. Place nori on a cutting board.
10. Flip the pressed rice about an inch from the edge and roll tightly
11. Wet the ends with water to the nori to stick to itself
12. Wet a sharp knife and cut into slices, wiping and wetting between cuts. Cut in half, and then half again for a total of 4 pieces.
13. Wrap in plastic wrap if eating later.
