Ingredients:

• 1 Container Spam 
• 1 Cup Japanese Short-Grain Rice (Sushi Rice)
• 1 Cup Water
• 3 Eggs
• 3 Sheets of Nori
• 1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
• 1/3 Cup Dark Brown Sugar 
• 2 Tbsp Mirin
• 2 Tbsp Sugar
• 2 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
• 1 tsp Salt
• Toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

• Start with 1 cup of short grain sushi rice, wash it, and put in a pot with 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of sugar, then add 1 cup of water and cook, season with toasted sesame seeds  
• To make the sauce mix 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup dark brown sugar and 2 tbsp mirin, whisk until sugar is dissolved
• Cut one can of spam into 7 even slices, cook in pan with butter on medium heat until the spam starts to turn golden, brush both sides with the sauce and continue cooking on low
• For the eggs, mix 3 eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp mirin and a pinch of salt, whisk and pour half into a pan using oil this time 
• When it’s ready, flip half of the omelette and pour the rest of the eggs under the cooked egg to create layers
• Finally use the empty spam container to create the musubi, start by placing a piece of plastic wrap in the container, scoop in 1/4 – 1/3 cup of rice, drizzle sauce on the rice, place the egg, then spam and press down
• Cut a sheet of nori into thirds, brush sauce on the Nori to help the rice stick better
