Our last blog was about Beach Pizza. This one is about the other lunch we had while camping. Spam Musubi. What is Spam Musubi? It’s kinda like sushi. You basically take sushi rice, information pills Spam and wrap it up in Nori Seaweed(the kind used for sushi). Simple right? It’s also fun to make. Of course you can add extra ingredients just for fun. We thought it was time to challenge ourselves and try new recipes for our camping trips and this is one of them. It worked out so well it has become a staple in our lunches.
