Pineapple Macadamia Nut Spam Musubi

Feeling a little adventurous?  Try this clever creation: Pineapple spam musubi. A dressed up version of our classic Spam musubi made with pineapple and macadamia nuts. You get the sweet, salty, savory mix of flavors in this spam musubi twist.

Prep Time: 15 | Cook Time: 30 | Ready In: 45

 Ingredients: 

Pineapple Macadamia Nut Spam Musubi

• 2 cups medium-grain white rice
• 3-½ cups water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 can Spam, cut into 8 slices
• 2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce (or 1-½ Tbsp Aloha shoyu mixed with 1 tsp sugar)
• 1/3 cup sushi vinegar (or 1/3 cup rice vinegar with 1 Tbsp sugar and ½ tsp salt)
• 2 sheets sushi nori
• ¼ cup minced scallion (green parts) or chives
• 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 Tbsp finely crushed macadamia nuts (mixed with the sesame for easier sprinkling)
• ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained

Cooking Process:

• To make this pineapple macadamia nut spam musubi recipe, thoroughly rinse the rice and place in a saucepan with the water and the salt. Bring to a boil, stir, cover, reduce heat to very low and cook for 15 - 17 minutes or until water is absorbed.
• While the rice is cooking, brush the spam slices with the teriyaki or soy sauce and broil until lightly colored.
• When the rice is done, fluff with a fork or wooden spoon to release the steam. Spread on a platter and drizzle the sushi vinegar on the rice a tablespoon at a time, gently mixing it in.
• Line a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overlap on the sides. Take one sheet of the nori and lay it evenly across the bottom and up the two long sides of the loaf pan or you can opt to use a standard spam musubi mold.
• Divide the rice into fourths, and spread one-fourth in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the scallions, sesame seeds, and crushed macadamias onto the rice; spread another one-fourth of the rice on top. Create additional layers in the following order: 4 slices of Spam; rice; pineapple; Spam; rice. Press down evenly with a spatula to level.
• Fold any extra nori from the sides of the pan onto the rice. Trim the remaining nori sheet to fit into the pan. Fold the extra plastic wrap over the nori and press down evenly with another loaf pan, block of wood, etc. to firm up the layers.
• Allow to rest for 15 - 20 minutes before unmolding. Unwrap and slice using a wet knife. You can serve slices whole (like a terrine) or insert four evenly-spaced decorative toothpicks into the top of a slice and cut down between them, making four appetizer/snack musubi portions out of each slice.
