Simply Craving

I was watching travel channel a while back and they run a show about resorts in Hawaii. On one segment, they are showing a restaurant using SPAM for sushi and it gives me an idea on my next lunch – Onigiri with SPAM!

My wife is a Japanese and I love it when she makes Onigiri for me, it’s simple, and quick snack. So what is Onigiri? According to Wikipedia, Onigiri is a snack of Japanese rice formed into triangle or oval shapes and often wrapped in nori (edible seaweed).

So I slice up the SPAM (1-inch thick) and grilled it with Indonesian BBQ sauce (kecap manis) and Japanese eel sauce. The SPAM itself is really salty, so by using the Indonesia BBQ sauce which quite sweet, giving it a more moderate taste.

We formed the Onigiri with the SPAM in the middle of it and I went another step by grilling the Onigiri itself with lighter eel sauce. The result was really good and my sister end up eating 5 Onigiri on one go!
