Wrap these in decorative aluminum foil and place them in a basket for a perfect treat to share. They're always a hit.
Recipe background:
I first tried pork and egg onigiri in Okinawa and loved it so much that I’ve made it many times since. You can switch up the fillings to your liking. The ones you usually see are quite large, so I make mine smaller, cuter, and easier to eat.

Steps

1

Slice the Spam and cook it in a skillet until browned.
2

Beat the 3 eggs with 3 teaspoons sugar and a dash of white dashi, then cook in a skillet to make a Japanese-style omelet.
3

Cut each nori sheet in half. On the front half, layer rice, Spam, lettuce, and omelet. Spread a thin layer of rice on the other half as well.
4

Fold the nori over the fillings to wrap them up, then cut in half lengthwise for easy eating. Wrap each piece in aluminum foil.
