Ingredients

• 1 can Spam
• 3 cups Riced cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 6 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the Spam into 6 even pieces (about 1/4-inch thick).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Fry the Spam slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated erythritol until the sweetener is dissolved. Pour the sauce mixture into the hot skillet, letting it bubble slightly, then add the fried Spam slices back into the skillet. Coat each piece evenly with the sauce and remove from heat. Set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender and has absorbed any excess moisture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Cut the nori sheets in half to create 6 smaller sheets.

Step 6

To assemble the musubi, take a sheet of nori and place it shiny-side down on a flat surface. Use a rectangular musubi mold (or your hands) to pack a small amount of cauliflower rice into a compact rectangle, approximately the same size as a Spam slice. Place one piece of Spam on top of the cauliflower rice block.

Step 7

Wrap the nori sheet over the Spam and cauliflower rice, sealing the edges tightly with a small dab of water if necessary to help it stick.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining ingredients until all 6 musubi are assembled.

Step 9

Serve immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap for later enjoyment. These can be eaten warm, room temperature, or slightly chilled.
