How to make it

  1. In a bowl, mix the warm sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir gently and set aside.

  2. Remove the Spam from the can and slice into ½-inch thick pieces.

    Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to punch out heart Spam pieces. (Save scraps for fried rice later!)

  3. In a small bowl, mix Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Flavored Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce, and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Add the heart Spam pieces and cook 2–3 minutes per side until lightly crisp. Brush both sides with the oyster glaze and cook 1 more minute per side until shiny, caramelized, and slightly sticky.

  5. Press a small handful of the seasoned rice into the same heart-shaped cookie cutter to create matching rice hearts. Repeat until you have one rice heart for each Spam heart.

     

    Assemble the musubi: Place a glazed Spam heart over a rice heart. Wrap a thin strip of nori around the center to hold them together. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo for dipping.
