Spam Musubi (6 Sushi Rolls)

Yes! SPAM had 4 legs… once

1 Can Spam (Cut into small dices)
2 Avocados (Sliced)
1 Yellow Pepper (Julienned or Diced)
1 Red Pepper (Julienned or Diced)
1 C White Rice
1 C Water
1 T Rice Vinegar
6 Dried Onigiri Nori Sheets (Dried Seaweed)
1 T Unsalted Butter
4 T Brown Sugar
Bamboo Sushi Roller

1.    In saucepan, soak and rinse rice in cold water to remove excess starch.  Drain rice and add fresh 1 cup of water and rice to saucepan.  Bring to simmer and cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Pull off heat, transfer to bowl, and stir in rice vinegar.

2.    Heat sauté pan over medium-high heat.  Add spam and brown sugar.  Cook spam until it has caramelized.  Remove from heat and set aside.

3.    Take nori/seaweed and lay on flat surface.  Take a small handful of rice and lay a thin layer on the seaweed.  Add peppers, avocado, and spam and lay on top of rice.  Take a sushi roller and roll seaweed (with ingredients) and fold over to hold in place.  Continue rolling seaweed like a giant cigar until about ¼ inch of seaweed is left.  Wet the remaining seaweed with water and seal the seaweed (like an envelope).

4.    Cut sushi roll into pieces and serve.
