Spam Musubi

A friend was telling me about it when he lived in Hawaii, it's available at all of the 7-11's so I had to try it.
 
I fancy myself a devotee of Spam. My palette is highly refined to where I can appreciate the flavor nuances that permeate this canned meat product with a half life. I feel bad for those lacking this unique gift bestowed upon so few such as myself.  :rofl:
 
I searched Youtube and BAM so off I went to the Asian store for ingredients but didn't know most people add and make a terriyaki sauce so I improvised and it came out good except I need to work on my molding skills.
 
I made a sauce with sesame seed oil, Hoisin and soy sauce then fried the Spam and added the sauce when it was done.

If you're into SPAM, you should try it out with some Mac & Cheese: Fry the SPAM up nice and crispy, thinly sliced, and seasoned how you want. Stick it in the side of the bowl with your mac & cheese. It's pretty banging, simple, and hearty. Although, anyone notice the SPAM brand has gotten kind of pricey lately: $3.50 for a can? Yikes...
 
Also, sardines are my jam! I like the plain smoked and the mustard. The ones in "hot sauce" don't really do it for me, not a great hot sauce. I'll add my own stuff to it if I'm inclined.
 
Sardines are actually VERY healthy for you: Really low in the food chain so not much mercury build-up (even in farmed ones), lots of protein, calcium (bones), and omega fatty-acids. Plus, they're fairly cheap! Can't afford to eat wild-caught salmon every night, but with sardines, that's a different story!
