Ingredients

• 12 oz Spam (low-sodium or original)
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1 tbsp Coconut oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
• 1 tsp Rice vinegar
• 2 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed paper)
• 0.5 sliced Avocado (optional, for added richness)
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the Spam into 8 even pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry the Spam slices on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, erythritol, and rice vinegar to create a keto-friendly teriyaki glaze. Return the cooked Spam to the skillet and brush or pour the glaze over the slices. Let the Spam caramelize for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In another skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly, then divide it into 8 even portions.

Step 6

Cut the nori sheets into 4 equal strips each (if not pre-cut).

Step 7

To assemble the musubi, place a strip of nori shiny side down. Shape one portion of cauliflower rice into a small rectangular block, roughly the size of the Spam slice, and place it onto the center of the nori.

Step 8

Top the cauliflower rice block with a glazed Spam slice. Add a thin slice of avocado if desired for extra creaminess.

Step 9

Wrap the nori strip tightly around the Spam and cauliflower rice, sealing the edge with a dab of water to help it stick.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to assemble all 8 musubi pieces.

Step 11

Serve immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap to enjoy later. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
