I just made fried SPAM sushi rolls. Asku me question.

Sounds gross.... it ain't. I assure you that. Easier to make them as a roll too, bite sized musubis!

What else do you put in your sushi? I just tried spam sushi about 6 months ago and was pleasantly surprised.

what is the MSG content in grams per bite ?

I make mine similarly to how many do. First I fry the spam till its crispy and render out some of the fat. Then I glaze the pieces in teriyaki sauce (I use Kikkoman bottled sauce). If making musubi, one layer of rice will be seasoned with bonito furikake, and the other layer with chopped scallion. Then I sandwich together and wrap with nori. Rolls similarly. Furikake on the rice bed, then spam, then top with scallion and roll it up.

Actually spam does not contain any MSG. It is very high in salt, but you can get reduced salt versions.

Just looked at the ingredients label of the furikake and teriyaki sauce. No MSG.

So to answer your question. Zero.

:takemymoney:

Did everyone in your trailer enjoy them?

next time put mayo on top

Trailer? LOL. Not.

Hmmm... I hate mayo, the only time I ever use it is when I make sauce for spicy tuna rolls. But even then, it is mixed with a healthy dose of sriracha and sesame oil so it loses its mayoness.

BTW, the onoiciousness of this comes from the bonito furikake. I've tried them all, and this one by far makes it.

For all that don't know furikake is Japanese rice seasoning. It almost always includes seaweed, but from there the sky is the limit. Bonito is a fish, a particularly tasty one, and it is seasoned/dried and used as a flavoring.

Sure and that is mainly due to the palatable nature of salt and sugar. Sugar being the bad one, health wise, in this equation :) If you don't care about that then all is well! Personally I will stick to my prosciutto wrapped chicken legs:

to each his own though! :D

Hell anything with prosciutto is good (which contains a HAYELL amount of salt).

Sugar is just as valuable a nutrient as salt. You just have to eat them sensibly.

true. Sugar has been known to spike insulin levels which is why I tend to stay away from at least artificial cane sugar. I stick to natural sugars like honey, maple syrup or fruits. Lower triglyceride counts = lower body fat composition. Then again, I am trying to lose weight :P I have no qualms against salt. I just drink a lot of water to combat any negative effects it has :)

Spam sandwich is the best.

Fried slices with melted cheese/toasted bread/mayo.
