Care-package benefits

Over the weekend, I got some stuff from my mom sent along with Aimee.  Most of it was unremarkable except for a few things - three cans of Spam (expired in August 2010, but it never actually expires, right?), a package of dried, roasted seaweed (nori), and a spam musubi maker.  Guess what that means?

I made half a can's worth of spam musubi.  I first cooked the spam in teriyaki sauce until it had a glaze, and that was basically all of the cooking except for the rice.  The mold makes it really easy to make this because it's exactly the width of half a sheet of nori, and its area almost exactly fits a slice of spam.  All you do is fill the mold, use the little pusher thing to remove it, take the pusher off the top of the rice (the trickiest part), then fold over the nori.  This made four musubis that I sliced into fours (two are missing from the plate because they fell apart when I sliced them).  This was essentially my dinner, though I didn't need much since I had a late lunch.

I think the other half a can of spam is going to go towards some spam fried rice tomorrow.  Stay tuned.
