Instructions:

1. Begin by slicing the Spam into roughly 1/4-inch slices. You should be able to get 8 to 10 slices from one can.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sear the Spam slices until they develop a golden-brown crust on both sides. Set aside on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and pour in the beaten egg, creating a thin omelet. Once cooked, roll up the omelet and slice it into strips roughly the width of the Spam slices.
4. Lay the nori sheet on a clean, flat surface, and place the musubi mold (or make a makeshift one from the Spam can by cutting out the bottom) in the center. Press a layer of steamed rice into the bottom of the mold, filling it about halfway.
5. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top of the rice, add a slice of the Spam, and then a strip of omelet on top of the Spam.
6. Sprinkle furikake generously over the omelet, then add another layer of rice, pressing it down firmly.
7. Lift the mold gently and roll the nori tightly around the assembled rice and fillings to form the musubi. Wet the edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal it shut.
8. Finally, cut between the Spam slices to create individual musubi.
9. Drizzle or spread Kewpie mayonnaise over the top of each musubi, or serve it on the side for dipping.
