Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups dry short grain sushi rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 2 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for caramelization)

Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with water in a rice cooker or pot.

- Slice Spam into thick pieces and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy.
- Prepare the caramelization by combining soy sauce and water in another bowl. Sprinkle sugar on both sides of each spam slice and pour in the soy sauce mixture, simmering until slightly thickened.

- For assembly, place sushi rice in a mold or on plastic wrap, layer with egg strips and spam, then roll tightly with nori.
