Ingredients

Filling:

2 slices Spam cut into ¼-inch thick pieces
1 egg lightly beaten

Main:

2 sheets nori seaweed
1 cup cooked sushi rice warm
few slices cucumber optional

Instructions

Prepare Spam & egg fillings:

In a small frying pan over medium heat, lightly pan-fry slices of Spam over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, blot off any excess grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon for the egg.
Heat the pan over medium heat and pour in the beaten egg, cooking it as an omelette, flipping it halfway. Remove from heat.
Cut the omelette into a similar size as the Spam and set aside.

Assemble:

Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down in the shape of a diamond (corner pointed down) on a clean work surface.
Place about ¼ C of the rice in the center, spreading it into a small square.
Layer with an egg omelette, sliced cucumber, and slice of Spam.
Add another ¼ C of rice on top to encase the filling.
Fold the corners of the nori inward like an envelope, wrapping tightly around the rice and fillings.
Wrap with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes, seam-side down, to allow the nori to soften.
Remove plastic wrap and slice in half with a sharp knife, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts.
Repeat with the remainder.
Enjoy immediately.
