Using LEGOs as a Substitute Musubi Maker



We were stuck in a bind the other day. What to do? I promised to make Spam Musubi for a potluck on Monday. I had all the ingredients and already made the rice. I went searching through the kitchen for my handy dandy gadget that you need in order to make Spam Musubi. I hadn't used it in probably over 5 years. I could find the top part of the maker, but not the rectangular mold. Here's what it's supposed to look like:


So one of the kids yelled out, "Make it out of LEGOs!" They thought they were just joking. However, I took it very seriously and made the other kid build me a mold out of LEGO pieces. We completely wrapped the substitute Musubi mold in Saran wrap so as to keep everything food safe and started on our way to making some great food!

Saran wrapped the entire mold.

There's the top part of my musubi maker that I could locate.

Seaweed, rice and spam makes a perfect combo!
