For dinner, I got to use the Musubi press my Portland family sent. Instead of Spam, I used extra firm tofu, and dredged it in spiced cornstarch to get a tasty crispy crust.

The press in action, with sushi rice, nori slices, and tofu…

And the finished product! I only had enough rice to make three, and they were delightful. I whisked a little greek yogurt into some soy sauce for dipping, and sat outside with the birds to enjoy my exotic supper. I’m grateful for being introduced to Musubi, for the gift of the press, for how simple it is to prepare, and how tasty. I foresee all manner of adaptations to this snack in my future.
