Spam Nigiri (Okinawan Spam & Egg Rice Balls)

Servings: 4

Ingredients
700 grams or 4 servings plain, cooked rice
1/2 can Spam
2 Eggs, beaten
2 sheets nori seaweed
Mayonnaise, optional
ground pepper, optional

Instructions
First, prepare the fillings. Cut the Spam into 4 slices.
Fry the slices of Spam on both sides using a generous amount of oil.
After cooking the spam, cook thin “omelettes” (or more like crepes) using the remaining oil in the pan. The salt from the Spam will season the egg so you won’t need to add any salt.
Place the musubi mold (a can of spam) on top of the seaweed and add a thin layer of rice.
It’s a little difficult to shape the rice without the musubi mold, but you can still make it in a rice ball style: simply spread out rice across the centre of the nori sheet, leaving plenty of space on each side to fold over at the end.
Next, place a layer of Spam and mayonnaise on top of the rice.
Lay the cooked egg on top.
Add another layer of rice on top of everything and press down.
Remove the musubi mold, if using, then wrap the edges of the nori seaweed around the layers of rice and spam.
Mixing in some fresh ground pepper in the rice gives it a nice extra taste.
