Fluffy Japanese-style omelet pairs perfectly with Spam—it's the taste of Okinawa! Try recreating it at home, or make it for a picnic or sports day. Spam musubi is so tasty!

About this recipe:
On my first trip to Okinawa, I tried Spam and egg onigiri at two different shops. The one in front of Shurijo Castle had an especially fluffy omelet that was amazing! I wanted to recreate it at home for myself and my family. My husband and daughter both said these could sell for $3 each!

Steps

1

Use half a can of Spam. Cut it lengthwise into 4 slices.
2

Add mayonnaise to a tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) pan, place the Spam slices in, and turn on the heat. Press the sides against the pan to get a nice sear on all surfaces.
3

Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture. Mix vinegar, water, and mayonnaise together, then add the eggs and mix well so the mixture is smooth. Add black pepper and mix again.
4

Once the Spam is done, lower the temperature of the pan by placing it on a damp towel. Wipe away any burnt bits and excess oil with a paper towel.
5

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook over medium heat. Adjust the heat as needed. Cut the omelet into 4 pieces with a spatula and cook the other side.
6

Tip: Stir the eggs quickly with chopsticks to break up bubbles for a fluffier texture. Use a spatula to shape the omelet to match the size of the Spam slices.
7

Shape the rice gently with plastic wrap to match the size of the Spam slices. Make about 8 portions, each about 1.75 ounces (50 grams). You can also make these as onigirazu (rice sandwiches).
8

Assemble by layering Spam and omelet between two portions of rice, then wrap with nori. Enjoy!
9

Variations:
- Add tuna mayo or kinpira (sautéed vegetables) for extra flavor.
- Try using bamboo shoot mixed rice for a different twist. Keep the seasoning light!
10

For lunchboxes:
- Bring the nori separately and wrap just before eating for a crisp texture.
11

Add fillings like tuna mayo and onion between the omelet and Spam for a sandwich-style onigiri. (See recipe ID:19481413)
