Spam musubi is like a sandwich but instead of bread, it has sticky rice! Sticky rice is like regular rice but more sticky – like glue. And instead of regular sandwich fillings like peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese, the spam musubi has a slice of tasty spam on top of the sticky rice.
Now, what's spam, you ask? Spam is a type of canned meat made from pork. It's a bit like ham and it's really popular in Hawaii, where they make a lot of spam musubi.
To make a spam musubi, you take a special little mold – kind of like a cookie cutter – and press the sticky rice into it to make a rectangle. Then you add a slice of spam on top of the rice and wrap it up with a strip of seaweed to keep it all together.
It’s a yummy snack that's easy to eat on the go or take to school for lunch. Plus, it's fun to make and eat with friends and family!
