Spam and Egg Onigiri Recipe | Savory Japanese Rice Balls

Cook rice according to package instructions until fluffy.

In a bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Heat cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set.

Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Slice spam into thin rectangles.

In the same skillet, add spam and cook until crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until dissolved.

Add the sauce to the skillet with spam and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until glazed.

Let the spam cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.

In a large bowl, combine cooked rice with rice vinegar and salt, mixing gently.

Wet your hands and take a portion of rice, forming it into a triangle.

Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs and spam in the center of the rice triangle.

Cover the filling with more rice and mold into a triangle shape.

Wrap each onigiri with a strip of nori.

Sprinkle with furikake and chopped green onions before serving.
