Instructions

Whisk together the water, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger until smooth, set aside
¼ cup water, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp ground ginger
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat, then add spam to skillet and cook 2 minutes each side, then pour the soy sauce mixture overtop and allow to simmer until most of the liquid is evaporated
2 tbsp oil, 1 can spam
Place ¼ cup rice on a piece of nori, top with the cooked spam, and tightly roll
2 cups steamed white rice, 4 slices nori
Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving with extra soy sauce if desired

Notes

Give the sauce a taste and adjust it with extra ginger or even a little garlic if desired.
Make sure to roll it tightly so it doesn't fall apart.
It's easier to work with rice that you've chilled. It'll stick together better.
