How to make Spam Musubi Onigiri at home:

To make the filling:

To form + shape the rice balls:

Notes

Tips & Tricks:

Wet your fingers in some water before handling the rice, this helps the rice from sticking to your hands when shaping the rice balls.
You can optionally mix in the furikake seasoning with the rice before shaping the rice balls.
I don't recommend making these rice balls ahead of time. The rice hardens over time and doesn't taste as good as eating them fresh.
