Video
Equipment
- 1 Tamagoyaki pan
Ingredients
- 2 slices spam meat (1/2" thick)
- 2 tsp oil (divided)
- 3 eggs
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp mirin
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 2 cups steamed rice
- 2 sheets Nori (roasted seaweed)
Instructions
- Slice Spam into 1/2-inch (1.2 cm) thick pieces. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook the Spam until lightly browned on both sides.
- In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with salt and mirin. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a tamagoyaki pan (a rectangular Japanese rolled omelet pan), pour in half of the egg mixture, and cook into a square sheet, flipping to cook the other side as well.
- Place a sheet of nori on a piece of plastic wrap with one corner pointing toward you. Put 1/2 cup of rice in the center and flatten it slightly. Place 1 piece of Spam, 1 sheet of cooked egg, and 1 lettuce leaf on top. Cover with another 1/2 cup of rice, and flatten again gently without squashing.
- Bring all four corners of the nori to the center, then wrap the whole package tightly with plastic wrap. With the plastic still on, cut it in half.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
