Ingredients
- 1 can Spam, sliced into 8 pieces
- 4 cups cooked sushi rice

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Spam
In a skillet over medium heat, fry the Spam slices until golden brown on both sides. Pour the sauce over the Spam and let it caramelize, flipping the slices to coat evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.
