1

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. Add the flour and cold water, whisking just enough to blend.

2

In a large saucepan, heat oil to 375°F.

3

Dip one side of a nori sheet in the batter mixture. Carefully fry the nori sheet in hot oil, batter side first, for 1 to 2 minutes, then flipping to fry the other side until crisp and curled.

4

Remove the nori from the oil to a paper towel-lined sheet pan, forming it into a taco shell as it cools. Repeat to make 8 taco shells.

5

In a large skillet, cook the diced SPAM® Classic over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

6

In another large skillet, steam the cauliflower in water over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until softened. Season with rice vinegar.

7

Divide the cauliflower rice and SPAM® Classic between the nori shells. Top the tacos with cucumber and carrots.

8

Serve with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger.
