This dish is inspired by spam musubi and onigiri. Spam musubi originated in Hawaii, so the sticky pineapple glaze is inspired by Hawaiian Huli Huli chicken, and it pairs perfectly with the savoury salty spam.
Start by cooking your sushi rice according to the package instructions, making sure to wash it until the water runs clear.
Meanwhile, mix up the ranch. Combine all of the ingredients, and pop into the fridge.
Mix up the spam sauce with grated ginger and garlic. Dice up the spam into small pieces. Crisp up the spam in a pan with a splash of oil.
Pour in the sauce ingredients, and let it reduce around the spam until it's nice and sticky. Let cool slightly.
Grab a handful of sushi rice with wet or oiled hands, and place a few pieces of spam in the middle. Wrap the sushi rice around it. Repeat until you've run out of spam or rice. If it's looking a bit soft, pop into the fridge.
Heat the vegetable oil to 200 C. When it's hot, carefully drop in your rice balls and fry until golden brown. This should only take a few minutes. Pop onto a rack and let the excess oil drain, then dust with furikake.
Plate up with the ranch, and enjoy!
