Measure 3 cups of rice into the rice pot. Add water into the pot, about an inch from the rice. Wash the rice by mixing your hands in the water and rice. Dump out the floury water. Repeat this two more times. You want it so that it cleans the rice from the flour.

Preparing Spam

Now that the rice is cooking, let's start preparing the spam. A standard spam can can be cut 8 times, so there will be about 9 spam slices. Depending on how you cut it it might be slightly different.

Teriyaki Sauce
