Slice Spam

Cut spam into slice roughly 2 inches long by 1 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick. The goal is to have the musubi fit in one byte, so adjust according to who is eating (care for the person enjoying the food is the ultimate ingredient)!

  • wash and damp your hand with clean water
  • grab a palm full of rice, compress with both hands into firm, rectangular prism

  • Place spam above the rice;
