Giant Spam Sushi
Serve: 2
Ingredients:
250 gram Spam – sliced
300 gram Cooked Sushi rice
65 gram Batter mix
1 tsp Baking soda
75ml Water
4 tbs Coconut oil
1 tsp Mirin
1 Pinch of salt and ground black pepper
6 Sushi ginger/pickled ginger – thinly sliced
Method
– Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions.
– Put the batter mix, baking soda, water, salt and ground pepper into a bowl. Whisk until all the ingredients are combined.
– Put the coconut oil into a frying pan.
– Dunk the Spam slices into the wet mixture.
– Fry the Spam until it is cooked throughout. Transfer the Spam onto a kitchen roll.
– Once the rice is cooked, transfer it into a bowl, add the mirin, a pinch of salt and pepper. Then gently fold.
– Lay the 2 nori sheets in a small loaf tin, push the nori against the tin with damp hands.
– Layer the sushi by putting the spam at the bottom, follow by the ginger slices and lastly the sushi rice. Gently apply pressure to flatten the sushi.
– Cover the rice with the other nori sheet, again gently push it down and side ways until the sheet holds the ingredients tightly together.
– Turn the tin up side down on the chopping board. Then cut the sushi loaf with the sharp knife into your preferred size.
Tip:
-For an intense flavour, dip this sushi in soy sauce and wasabi or Sriracha sauce for an intense flavour.
-Not keen on the ready-made batter? You can use Panko (Japanese breadcrumb), Gluten free breadcrumb or even make your own batter. Happy cooking!
