Very first thing: Cook the rice so it has time to cool down. (I ended up making much more rice than I thought I needed)
I made Spam Musubi as well, I know that spam is not a common thing, but if you haven't tried it, try it before making up your mind about it. Musubi is a Hawaiian snack of teriyaki soaked spam wrapped in rice and seaweed. It was my favorite snack growing up in Hawaii.
Slice the spam in thick pieces and cook on a skillet until browned. Then mix soy sauce with brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Add to skillet (off) and let soak.
Once the rice is done, take it out of the rice cooker or off of the stove to cool quicker.
I then chopped the vegetables and left them aside. Cut them julienne, which are thin strips, match like pieces. The avocado can just be cut in 1/8ths depending on size.
I used the spam tin as a mold for the rice. Cut the bottom out and stuff rice about half way full to make a block, lay a thick slice of spam on top then wrap in seaweed. Voila!
The salmon still had some skin, it was a little difficult to cut it away but once I did, I cut the salmon and tuna into medallions.
Then I laid out the seaweed on a bamboo sushi roller, you can find them anywhere. Lay a layer of rice about half an inch inside of the seaweed. Add whatever veggie/fish combo. Below: Salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese.
Cut into inch thick pieces and Enjoy! It's as easy as that!
I made about twice as much as I photographed here, but I couldn't eat it all even with a friend. So I put most of it in the fridge, but it wasn't as good on day 2.
