Recipe

Slice the spam horizontally into 0.5cm thick pieces and pan-fry over medium heat on a non-stick pan until golden brown on both sides, then remove excess oil.
Whisk 4 eggs with 1 tablespoon of mirin, then cook into thick omelets over medium-low heat using a lightly oiled pan, cutting them to the same size as the fried spam.
Prepare the dried shrimp by tearing or slicing it to match the length of the spam while maintaining a thick, substantial texture.
In a small pot, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon mirin, then simmer to create a teriyaki sauce.
Mix 3 bowls of warm rice with 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, stirring well to create a fragrant seasoned rice base.
Line the inside of a cleaned spam can with plastic wrap, then layer the seasoned rice evenly, press down firmly, and spread a thin coat of teriyaki sauce on top.
Place the prepared dried shrimp on the sauce, followed by the omelet, a little mayonnaise, the fried spam, and another layer of seasoned rice, stacking them one by one.
Press the final layer of rice down tightly, then lift the plastic wrap to turn out the solid block from the can.
Lay out the kimbap seaweed flat, place the block in the center, and wrap it completely and tightly with the seaweed, ensuring no gaps.
Let sit undisturbed for about 1 minute so the seaweed adheres fully to the moisture in the rice, then lightly brush the knife blade with sesame oil and slice into bite-sized portions.

Prepare fried spam, thick omelet, and dried shrimp; make teriyaki sauce and seasoned rice.
Line the spam can with plastic wrap, then stack the ingredients—rice, sauce, dried shrimp, omelet, mayonnaise, spam, rice—in layers like a sandwich.
Remove the block from the can, wrap it entirely in kimbap seaweed, wait 1 minute, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking tips

For added texture, consider including thinly sliced cucumber or well-squeezed pickled radish according to preference.
Avoid slicing immediately after wrapping—the seaweed tends to split easily. Wait 1 minute for the rice’s warmth and moisture to help the seaweed adhere smoothly.
Lightly dampen or brush the knife blade with water or sesame oil before slicing to ensure clean, neat cuts without smudging the cross-section.
