Musubi Beyond Spam — Musubi Variations

What the recipe doesn't tell you

Hawaiian · Format

Spam musubi (already HI-20) variations: the musubi format (rice block, nori wrap, protein on top) extends beyond Spam to include: bacon-egg musubi, shoyu chicken musubi, kalua pig musubi, furikake musubi (rice seasoned with furikake, no protein), ume (pickled plum) musubi, and even ahi musubi. Every 7-Eleven in Hawaiʻi sells multiple musubi varieties. The musubi is Hawaiʻiʻs grab-and-go food — the onigiri equivalent customised for Hawaiian tastes.

1. EXCEPTIONAL: Furikake musubi: rice mixed with furikake, formed in a musubi mould, wrapped in nori. The simplest expression.
