hello! Hi everyone, Wesley here. Today we're diving back into our series dedicated to Hawaiian comfort food with a shot at a small bite classic that has been on my list for some time now, which is the iconic Hawaiian onigiri known as spam musubi. For those unfamiliar, the concept of a spam musubi is not terribly complicated (particularly given that onigiri itself is not super complicated either). It is essentially a molded piece of sushi rice, layered with a spoonful of teriyaki sauce, and topped with a seared piece of the famous, canned mystery meat known as SPAM. As with most onigiri, its compact and easily transportable nature makes it an extremely common snack found in cornerstores and quickstops all around the island, often with increasingly more complex variation. For our version today we will of course start with the required classic spam musubi, but then I thought it might be fun to dive into some of the more interesting variations that i've come across too, including a quick miso teriyaki sauce, our spam katsu musubi, crispy seared spam musubi, and just about everything else that I could think of, too. Hope you try it.
