🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Tofu offers a plant-based option while canned chicken is often less expensive.

1

Cook sushi rice according to package instructions and let cool slightly.

2

In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved; fold into the cooled rice gently.

3

Slice spam into thick sticks and pan-fry until crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat or clean surface.

5

Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

6

Place strips of spam, carrots, cucumber, and lettuce in a line across the center of the rice.

7

Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori tightly away from you, pressing gently to form a cylinder.

8

Seal the edge of the nori with a little water to hold it together.

9

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts.

10

Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
